If you never took a computer science course in high school or college and never wrote a lick of code in your whole life, then this book is for you. Or perhaps you learned a little bit of coding by writing some spreadsheet formulas or macros, or some simple programs in BASIC. If so, then this book is also for you. Perhaps you even started to learn Python from an online tutorial but didn’t get very far with it. Well guess what? This book is for you as well. The aim of this book is to give you enough of a foundation in Python that you can start using it in your studies, in your work, or even just for fun!

This book is a complete, get-you-started, introductory course in Python that takes you from the essential features of the core Python language, to more advanced topics like data visualization and building applications with graphical user interfaces. Along the way it does NOT skimp on the details of some of the essential Python topics like Virtual Environments and Object-Oriented Programming that are often glossed over in beginner's guides. In addition to showing the reader the mechanics of how to write Python code, this book also aims to give the reader a depth of Python knowledge that will make them a better coder.
