New Python book, "Learn Python Quickly"

2013-03-16 Thread John Rowland
Hi All,

You may be interested in my latest book "Learn Python Quickly". It's a Kindle 
book but is specifically designed to be used with any of the free-to-download 
Kindle Reading Apps. What's special about the book is its comprehensive 
glossary and the numerous in-text internal hyperlinks to topics in the 
glossary, allowing the reader to quickly jump to glossary topics to clarify the 
terms used in the text.

The book can be followed by those with zero prior knowledge of the language and 
very little general language experience, but leads the reader in easy stages to 
quite sophisticated coding skills including classes and Graphical User 
Interface (GUI) programming.

There are numerous graded exercises, all with sample answers at the end of the 
book. There is also a companion web site from which those programs can be 
freely copied and used immediately in Python's IDLE interface. (This overcomes 
the copying restriction imposed on Kindle books.)

The programs and lots of Information about the book (including sample chapters 
and an extract from the glossary) can be found on www.learnpythonquickly.com 
and the book itself is available from Amazon, from where you can download the 
reading apps and then download a further sample of the book onto those apps.

I do hope you find this of interest.

Kind regards,

John Rowland

To Terry Reedy. That's just the sort of constructive criticism I was hoping 
would be forthcoming. Thank you. I'll note this on the web site and include it 
in the first book update.
