Python Programming
Maintaining a practical perspective, Python Programming: A Practical Approach acquaints you with the wonderful world of programming. The book is a starting point for those who want to learn Python programming. The backbone of any programming, which is the data structure and components such as strings, lists, etc., have been illustrated with many examples and enough practice problems to instill a level of self-confidence in the reader.Drawing on knowledge gained directly from teaching Computer Science as a subject and working on a wide range of projects related to ML, AI, deep learning, and blockchain, the authors have tried their best to present the necessary skills for a Python programmer. Once the foundation of Python programming is built and the readers are aware of the exact structure, dimensions, processing, building blocks, and representation of data, they can readily take up their specific problems from the area of interest and solve them with the help of Python. These include, but are not limited to, operators, control flow, strings, functions, module processing, object-oriented programming, exception and file handling, multithreading, synchronization, regular expressions, and Python database programming.This book on Python programming is specially designed to keep readers busy with learning fundamentals and generates a sense of confidence by attempting the assignment problems. We firmly believe that explaining any particular technology deviates from learning the fundamentals of a programming language. This book is focused on helping readers attempt implementation in their areas of interest through the skills imparted through this book. We have attempted to present the real essence of Python programming, which you can confidently apply in real life by using Python as a tool.Salient Features Based on real-world requirements and solution. Simple presentation without avoiding necessary details of the topic. Executable programs on almost every topic. Plenty of exercise questions, designed to test readers' skills and understanding.Purposefully designed to be instantly applicable, Python Programming: A Practical Approach provides implementation examples so that the described subject matter can be immediately implemented due to the well-known versatility of Python in handling different data types with ease.

A Quick Guide to Learning Python
Mastering a programming language requires understanding code and writing it effectively. This book offers quizzes to improve skills in reading and understanding code, while the exercises aim to improve writing code skills.Each chapter starts with an explanation and code examples and is followed by exercises and quizzes, offering an opportunity for self-testing and understanding which level you achieved.This book goes beyond the traditional approach by explaining Python syntaxes with real-world code examples. This approach makes learning exciting and ensures readers can apply their knowledge effectively. The included exercises and quizzes, along with their solutions, provide a guarantee to readers and empower them to create simple yet valuable programs.Learning one computer language facilitates learning other computer languages. This principle arises from rules and logic that connect computer languages. A confirmation of this was when I was asked to teach the C# programming language at the University of Applied Science. Despite having no experience with C#, I dedicated a weekend to diving into the language and realized it wasn't fundamentally different from other object-oriented programming languages.Python is also a language reliant on object-oriented programming principles. Our focus is real-world examples, enabling you to apply these concepts in your programming works. Learning programming is a communication tool with computers, as machines operate using their language defined by specific logical structures and sentences known as statements.

Learning Java
This introductory textbook on Java programming is different from others by its emphasis on test-driven development. Writing tests before designing the implementation is incredibly important for debugging purposes and understanding the desired outcome. While testing is often an afterthought in other Java textbooks (being placed at the very end or not at all, which is in some ways cruel to withhold such capabilities from the student), this text takes a different, perhaps "functional" approach to learning Java: it introduces testing and methods from the start, followed by conditionals, recursion, and loops (on purpose in this very order). It then dives deep into data structures and the Java Collections API, including streams and generics. After this, it pivots to object-oriented programming, exceptions and I/O, searching and sorting, algorithm analysis, and eventually advanced Java/programming topics. This ordering of topics is well adjusted to prepare students to subsequent upper-level courses in data structure or algorithm design and implementation. The approach is illuminated by numerous code snippets and the students' understanding is consolidated by about 250 exercises covering all topics covered in the book. With this book, readers will not only learn how to program Java, but also acquire a necessary precondition for successfully writing and testing commercial software.
