Riassunto

Perkovic's Introduction to Programming Using Python providesan imperative-first introduction to Python focusing on computerapplications and the process of developing them.  The texthelps develop computational thinking skills by covering patterns ofhow problems can be broken down and constructively solved toproduce an algorithmic solution.  The approach is hands-on andproblem oriented. The book also introduces a subset of the Pythonlanguage early on to help write small functions. Chapters includean introduction to problem solving techniques and classicalalgorithms, problem-solving and programming and ways to apply coreskills to application development.
