Python 3 Exercises for beginners
Easy exercises for starting coders
About the Book
This book pretends to fill a gap between the Python books.
Written by Carles Mateo, with Sandra Soriano and Albert Ballart as coautors, when Carles was teaching to different students he realized that there is a gap, between the moment the person is starting to program and finds no exercises easy enough to do. They are too difficult. Like in hackerrank.
This book provides very easy exercises to learn easily, and explanations abut the solutions achieved.
Then the difficulty increases, and the explanations provide a very valuable knowledge absorbed quickly and easily. Also examples that will clarify very basic doubts and not so basic ones.
It also provides useful recipes and samples, like building text menu applications, receiving input from keyboard, or using library paramiko to SSH to a Server with username and password and execute a command. Also I show how I created a Battleship game, a Guess my number game, a Tic Tac Toe, graphics generation...
This book is written in three languages:
- English (Main)
- Catalan
- Spanish
Everything is available in the three languages.
