- Exercise your brain: End-of-chapter exercises help cement what you’ve learned.
- Beyond the basics: It doesn’t just stop at “Hello, World!” – you’ll explore how Python fits into business, science, and even the arts.
The good stuff you’ll learn:
The book is like a Swiss Army knife for Python skills. You’ll get the lowdown on:
- Best practices that’ll make your code shine
- Testing and debugging (because we all make oopsies)
