Because of its simple syntax, full set of features, and wide range of applications, Python is an ideal language for a first programming course. And our book takes advantage of the Python syntax and features to help beginners learn how to program faster and better than ever. Along the way, they’ll master the skills that are common to all programming languages so that learning the next language, like Java or C#, will be much easier. And at the end, they’ll have the basic Python skills that are in such demand today for applications ranging from web and game development to data analysis, scientific computing, artificial intelligence…and more!

This is by far the best Python tutorial I have come across. Tried Udemy, Udacity, some other video and printed tutorials, but didn’t get the feel of it. Murach's side-by-side lecture & example really works for me. And the sample codes and exercises are valuable tutorials that any newbie will want to keep as reference materials. Really effective training style.”
