Introduction to Python Programming (Taiwan Edition / 含Access Code, 刮除不受退)(Paperback)

Hallmark Features
Bring programming to life with dynamic content designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn
* Interactives and videos interwoven throughout the content enable students to practice essential coding skills in context. Thanks to this media-rich presentation of content, students come to class better prepared and ready to develop problem-solving skills through programming fundamentals.
- VideoNotes are narrated step-by-step video tutorials that show how to solve problems completely, from design through coding (available on the companion website).
- Listings step students through the code line-by-line, showing and explaining what is happening in the program.
- Algorithm Animations show how an algorithm work visually and interactively (available on the companion website).
- Notes, Tips, and Key Points offer insight and valuable advice on important aspects of programming.

A fundamentals-first approach and clear framework foster understanding of key concepts
* Teaches programming in a problem-driven way that focuses on problem solving rather than syntax using a fundamentals-first and problem-driven strategy, moving students at a steady pace through all the necessary and important basic concepts and techniques on selections, loops, functions, before writing custom classes.
* Basic programming concepts are explained by examples from many different areas—math, science, business, finance, gaming, animation, and multimedia—and are supported by a variety of interactive learning activities to keep students engaged.
* Step-by-step presentation guides students in learning all essential subjects in Python incrementally from fundamental programming techniques to object-oriented programming, from simple functions to STL.
