Starting Out with Python, 6/e (GE-Paperback)
暫譯: Python 入門，第 6 版 (GE-平裝本)

Description
In the acclaimed Starting Out with series, author Tony Gaddis makes programming accessible and comprehensible to beginners, mentoring them on how to become skilled programmers. A friendly writing style and an evenly paced introduction to concepts combine to make the text inviting and engaging to new students.

Starting Out with Python is no exception: Clear, approachable, and easy-to-understand, it is ideal for an introductory course on programming for students with no prior experience. Its fundamentals-first approach covers control structures before introducing classes and GUI programming. Each chapter presents case studies that provide step-by-step analysis of a specific problem and show the student how to solve it. Easy-to-understand examples, pseudocode, and flowcharts help students learn how to design the logic of programs and then implement those programs using Python.
