E-Books →Introduction to Coding in Hours With Python Level 1

Welcome to the first book in the Learn Coding Basics With Python book series! Written by Jack Stanley and Erik Gross, the Co-Founders of the award-winning technology school, The Tech Academy. This book was designed for absolute beginners with no prior coding experience, and it offers a clear and accessible introduction to programming using Python. Unlike many programming guides that assume extensive technical knowledge, this resource prioritizes simplicity and understanding. The authors approached the material with one benchmark in mind: "Could our parents do this?" This book directly addresses two major barriers to entering the tech industry: overwhelming technical jargon and the tendency of experts to talk down to beginners. Every term and concept is explained in plain English, avoiding unnecessary complexity or condescension. Acting as a bridge between general society and the world of programming, this guide makes coding accessible to anyone eager to learn. Before diving into writing Python code, the book establishes a strong foundation by breaking down fundamental concepts, such as what programming and code really mean. Instead of encouraging readers to mindlessly follow instructions, Stanley and Gross aim to ensure genuine comprehension of each step. With engaging chapters, straightforward explanations, and beginner-friendly assignments, readers will confidently start writing Python code by Chapter 2. Perfect for anyone who has felt intimidated by coding, Learn Coding Basics With Python makes programming approachable, enjoyable, and comprehensible. It is the ideal first step toward understanding technology and unlocking the potential to become a programmer.
