Today's teenagers have built-in WiFi and an online meme for every situation. Computers, smart phones and the web are their playground, and they're itching to join the party with their own content. Going beyond posts and uploads means learning to program, and Python is a natural starting point that can lead them from interest to hobby to future career.
This book is designed for middle-school through college-aged students, providing solid programming foundations they can carry throughout life. It uses fun and simple language (and programming examples) to make its point and teach the fundamentals needed to start the down path of a programmer. Using Python, a highly-flexible language with a low learning curve, budding developers will be prepared enter any number of technical fields or take the coding fundamentals they learn in Python and apply them to any other language.
​Python for Teenagers teaches young programmers that programming can be fun, from basic concepts to developing web sites and networking applications. Examples include games and using data to populate role-playing characters, with a relaxed, informal style that communicates key points without talking down to readers. After reading this book, readers will have a love of programming, the skills to get a programming job, and an understanding of the career options they might pursue after graduation.
