Ai-Assisted Python for Nonprogrammers - by Reuven M Lerner (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

It's hard to exaggerate Python's popularity: It's used for everything from data science to servers to the web. It's also famously "easy" to learn. However, learning to program in Python can still be a frustrating experience. AI-Assisted Python for Nonprogrammers is designed to give you the context you need to build a deep understanding not just of Python's syntax but also of the concepts behind it, even if you don't have any previous programming experience.

Through clear explanations and explorations, author Reuven Lerner will have you writing simple Python programs in no time. By collaborating with AI chatbots to complete focused hands-on exercises, you'll reinforce core concepts like variables and values, conditions and loops, functions, and modules (while also getting a taste of coding with GenAI). But most importantly, you'll learn how to think about computers and software like a programmer--setting you up to better participate in technical conversations at your job and understand the influence of technology on our world.

• Write simple Python programs using core data structures, conditions, and loops
• Write and use Python functions
• Use Python modules
• Gain the confidence to continue your Python journey
