Book Index Page: Python on Sterioids




Not for Children! This is dangerous and scary. This is a revision of the original Python book aimed at students who have experience in a Turing-complete language. So if you have programmed with JavaScript or some other language and have built some basic skill, this is the place to go to get to the next level.

This book will assume you are familiar with the following things.

  1. Objects: regions of storage in memory that store data and which can perform tasks.
  2. Variables: These are symbols that let us keept track of objects.
  3. Scope: This describes where in code various variables are visible.
  4. Conditional Logic: This allows programs to react to the values held by visible quantities
  5. Iteration: This allows programs to execute a segment of code repeatedly.
  6. Functions: These allow us to store a procedure under a name.

This book is unapologetically 3-centric.
