The Personal Internet Address & Password Log Book And Python Crash Course: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming


Are you tired of losing track of those login/usernames and passwords you create every time you visit a new website? Now you can keep important website addresses, usernames, and passwords in one convenient place!

- Lots of space: 144 pages, including tabbed alphabetical pages
- Plenty of room for all those Web site addresses, usernames, passwords, and additional notes
- A spiral binding that allows pages to lie flat for ease of use
- Handy elastic band closure
- Pages in the back on which to record additional useful information, such as your home network configuration, software license numbers, and other notes
- Removable label and discreet cover design
- 4-1/4'' wide x 5-3/4'' high


Python Crash Course is a fast-paced, thorough introduction to programming with Python that will have you writing programs, solving problems, and making things that work in no time.

In the first half of the book, you'll learn about basic programming concepts, such as lists, dictionaries, classes, and loops, and practice writing clean and readable code with exercises for each topic. You'll also learn how to make your programs interactive and how to test your code safely before adding it to a project. In the second half of the book, you'll put your new knowledge into practice with three substantial projects: a Space Invaders-inspired arcade game, data visualizations with Python's super-handy libraries, and a simple web app you can deploy online.

As you work through Python Crash Course, you'll learn how to:

Use powerful Python libraries and tools, including matplotlib, NumPy, and Pygal
Make 2D games that respond to keypresses and mouse clicks, and that grow more difficult as the game progresses
Work with data to generate interactive visualizations
Create and customize simple web apps and deploy them safely online
Deal with mistakes and errors so you can solve your own programming problems

If you've been thinking seriously about digging into programming, Python Crash Course will get you up to speed and have you writing real programs fast. Why wait any longer? Start your engines and code!
