Ebook: Head First Python, 3rd Edition (Early Release)

Want to learn the Python language without slogging your way through how-to manuals? With Head First Python, you'll quickly grasp Python's fundamentals, working with the built-in data structures and functions. Then you'll move on to building your very own webapp, exploring database management, exception handling, and data wrangling.

If you're intrigued by what you can do with context managers, decorators, comprehensions, and generators, it's all here. This third edition is a complete learning experience that will help you become a bonafide Python programmer in no time.

In order to explore, experiment, and learn about Python, you need to install a runtime back-end called Jupyter into your Python. As you’ll see in a moment, doing so is straightforward. When it comes to creating Python code, you can use just about any programmer’s editor, but we’re recommending you use a specific one when working through this book’s material: Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code, known the world over as VS Code.
