Python from Scratch: Programming for absolute beginners with Python

Python from Scratch is designed for individuals who are new to programming and want to start learning how to program on their own. It is also a great textbook for introductory computer programming courses, in which students need to master both basic programming techniques and the Python language.

The book covers the fundamental concepts of programming, such as expressions, variables, loops, conditional statements, lists, dictionaries, sets, functions, files, classes, objects, SQL database (SQLite 3), regular expressions, and graphical interfaces with tkinter, with examples and exercises. Essential mathematical concepts are explained in tandem with programming knowledge, making exercises more accessible. While the book emphasizes clear, simple examples to build a strong foundation, it also introduces more advanced computing features for those seeking a further challenge.
