Ideal for anyone who has never programmed, McMullen/Matthews/Parsons' PROGRAMMING WITH PYTHON uses a beginner's approach that combines conceptual content with rich examples and hands-on learning activities. Straightforward and student friendly, it emphasizes fundamental computer concepts from a Python programming perspective using a clear presentation with little technical jargon. Modules introduce important computer science concepts, procedural programming and object-oriented programming in short segments, while real-world examples, streamlined code and descriptive figures help you better understand today's computing concepts. As you strengthen your computer science knowledge, you will also sharpen critical-thinking and problem-solving skills -- and build confidence.

  • CRITICAL THINKING Q&A: Helping students focus on key material, a series of brief critical thinking questions review the main points introduced in each chapter as well as reinforce new concepts at the moment of learning.
  • ROBUST INSTRUCTOR’S MANUAL: Lesson-by-lesson outlines equip instructors with helpful suggestions for presenting difficult concepts, additional code examples and questions that prompt lively class discussions.
  • POWERPOINT REVIEW: Students can use PowerPoint slides to review key concepts -- maximizing their study time and course success.
  • COMPLETE CODE EXAMPLES: Providing students with additional insight, embedded figures illustrate the application of general concepts in Python code.
