Introduction to Computer Science Using Python

Introduction to Computer Science Using Python: A Computational Problem–Solving Focus,recommended by Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python ( This is not your average Python book I think this book is a great text for anyone teaching CS1 ). With a focus on computational problem solving from Chapter 1, this text provides numerous hands–on exercises and examples, each chapter ending with a significant–size program demonstrating the step–by–step process of program development, testing, and debugging. A final chapter includes the history of computing, starting with Charles Babbage, containing over 65 historical images. An end–of–book Python 3 Programmers Reference is also included for quick lookup of Python details. Extensive instructor materials are provided for those adopting for classroom use, including an instructors manual, over 1,000 well–developed slides covering all fundamental topics of each chapter, source code, and test bank.
