Some good books in Python
Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science, 2nd Ed.
Review : This book teaches you theoretical computer science concepts as well as
the art of programming via Python 3. It doesn't have a ton of pages and
it executes its goal very well, which is to introduce students to the
field of computer science and to focus on problem solving instead of
complicated syntax and compiler issues. (source Amazon.com)
Python for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Programming
Review : The book is broken down into logical chapters,
each building upon the previous ones. It starts with foundational
concepts like variables and calculations, adds types like strings and
lists and tuples, then begins with an introduction to graphic
interaction using the turtle module. This is much sooner than typical,
and I think it is beneficial because it gives kids a quicker jump to
that fun moment of power, "Hey! I just made that thing move on the
screen." (source Amazon.com)
