Why Python?

Why "Learn Python the Hard Way"?

  • As I have previous programming experience, I wanted to quickly get a grasp of the basics of Python.
  • This book emphasizes attention to detail and the persistence to type every single character, as opposed to copy/paste.

What is it? The book has 52 exercises covering:

  • user and file input, output, variables, functions, boolean algebra, conditional statements, objects and classes.

Other practice: I intend to quickly expand into NumPy/SciPy and matplotlib. My next project will be: The Game of Life.
