Starting Out with Python, Global Edition, 5th Edition

For courses in Python programming.

A clear and student-friendly introduction to the fundamentals of Python. In Starting Out with Python, 4th Edition, Tony Gaddis' accessible coverage introduces students to the basics of programming in a high-level language. Python, an easy-to-learn and increasingly popular object-oriented language, allows readers to become comfortable with the fundamentals of programming without the troublesome syntax that can be challenging for novices. With the knowledge acquired using Python, students gain confidence in their skills and learn to recognise the logic behind developing high-quality programs.

Starting Out with Python discusses control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, focused explanations, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter.

Tony Gaddis is the principal author of the Starting Out With series of text books. Tony has two decades of experience teaching computer science courses, primarily at Haywood Community College. He is a highly acclaimed instructor. The Starting Out With series includes introductory books covering C++, Java, Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft C#, Python, Programming Logic and Design, Alice, and App Inventor, all published by Pearson.
