Python for Beginners
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE GUIDE PYTHON? THEN KEEP READING...Programming has come a long way. The world of programming may have started quite some time ago; it was only a couple of decades ago that it gained attention from computer experts from across the globe. This sudden shift saw some great minds who contributed to the entire age of programming far greater than most. We saw the great GNU project take shape during this era. We came across the rather brilliant Linux. New programming languages were born as well, and people certainly enjoyed these to the utmost.While most of these programming languages worked, there was something that was missing. Surely, something could be done to make coding a less tedious task to do and carry out. That is exactly what a revolutionary new language, named after Monty Python's Flying Circus, did for the world. Immediately, coding became so much easier for programmers. The use of this language started gaining momentum, and today, it is set to overtake the only language that stands before it to claim the prestigious spot of being the world's most favored language.This language was the brainchild of Guido Van Rossum. Created in the year 1991, Python has become a byword for efficient and user-friendly programming. This language is what connected the dots and gave programmers the much-needed ease of coding that they have since been yearning for. Naturally, the language was received well by the programming community. Today, it is one of the most important languages for both professionals and students who aim to excel in fields like Machine Learning, automation, artificial intelligence, and so much more.With real-life examples showing a wide variety of use, Python is now living and breathing in almost every major social platform, web application, and website. All of this sounds interesting and exciting at the same time, but what if you have no prior knowledge about programming? What if you have no understanding of basic concepts and you wish to learn Python? This book covers: Python - The First ImpressionsGetting ready for PythonThe world of Variables and OperatorsMaking Your Program InteractiveList, Tuples and dictionariesFunctions and ModulesWorking with FilesObject Oriented ProgrammingAnd much more.I am happy to report that this book will provide you with every possible chance of learning Python and allow you to jump-start your journey into the world of programming. This book is ideally meant for people who have zero understanding of programming and/or may have never coded a single line of program before.I will walk you through all the basic steps from installation to application. We will look into various aspects of the language and hopefully provide you with real-life examples to further explain the importance of such aspects. The idea of this book is to prepare you as you learn the core concepts of Python.** Take advantage of this deal and let your customers fall in LOVE with this book! **

Twining
Hypertext is now commonplace: links and linking structure nearly all of our experiences online. Yet the literary, as opposed to commercial, potential of hypertext has receded. One of the few tools still focused on hypertext as a means for digital storytelling is Twine, a platform for building choice-driven stories without relying heavily on code. In Twining, Anastasia Salter and Stuart Moulthrop lead readers on a journey at once technical, critical, contextual, and personal. The book's chapters alternate careful, stepwise discussion of adaptable Twine projects, offer commentary on exemplary Twine works, and discuss Twine's technological and cultural background. Beyond telling the story of Twine and how to make Twine stories, Twining reflects on the ongoing process of making. "While there have certainly been attempts to study Twine historically and theoretically... no single publication has provided such a detailed account of it. And no publication has even attempted to situate Twine amongst its many different conversations and traditions, something this book does masterfully." --James Brown, Rutgers University, Camden

Python Programming
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DISCOVER THE SECRETS BEHIND PYTHON PROGRAMMING, THEN KEEP READING...Data analysis plays an important role in many aspects of life today. From the moment you wake up, you interact with data at different levels. A lot of important decisions are made based on data analytics. Companies need data to help them meet many of their goals. As the population of the world keeps growing, its customer base keeps expanding. In light of this, they must find ways of keeping their customers happy while at the same time meeting their business goals. Given the nature of competition in the business world, it is not easy to keep customers happy. Competitors keep preying on each other's customers, and those who win have another challenge ahead - how to maintain the customers lest they slide back to their former business partners. This is one area where Data Analysis comes in handy. This book covers: What is Data AnalysisPython Crash CourseData MungingWhy Data Preprocessing Is ImportantWhat is Data Wrangling?Inheritances to Clean Up the CodeReading and writing dataThe Different Types of Data We Can Work WithThe Importance of Data VisualizationIndexing and selecting arraysCommon Debugging ToolsNeural Network and What to Use for?And much more. To understand their customers better, companies rely on data. They collect all manner of data at each point of interaction with their customers. Data are useful in several ways. The companies learn more about their customers, thereafter clustering them according to their specific needs. Through such segmentation, the company can attend to the customers' needs better and hope to keep them satisfied for longer. But data analytics is not just about customers and the profit motive. It is also about governance. Governments are the biggest data consumers all over the world. They collect data about citizens, businesses, and every other entity that they interact with at any given point. This is important information because it helps in a lot of instances. For planning purposes, governments need accurate data on their population so that funds can be allocated accordingly. Equitable distribution of resources is something that cannot be achieved without proper Data Analysis. Other than planning, there is also the security angle. To protect the country, the government must maintain different databases for different reasons. There are high profile individuals who must be accorded special security detail, top threats who must be monitored at all times, and so forth. To meet the security objective, the government has to obtain and maintain updated data on persons of interest at all times. There is so much more to Data Analysis than the corporate and government decisions. As a programmer, you are venturing into an industry that is challenging and exciting at the same time. Data doesn't lie unless it is manipulated, in which case you need insane Data Analysis and handling skills. As a data analyst, you will come across many challenges and problems that need solutions that can only be handled through Data Analysis. The way you interact with data can make a big difference, bigger than you can imagine.Ready to get started? Click "Buy Now"!
