Introduction to Python All In One For Dummies PDF

The power of Python. The Python language is becoming more and more popular, and in 2017 it became the most popular language in the world according to IEEE Spectrum.

The power of Python is real. Why is Python the number one language? Because it is incredibly easy to learn and use.

Part of it is its simplified syntax and its natural-language flow, but a lot of it has to do with the amazing user community and the breadth of applications available.

About Python For Dummies eBook

This book is a reference manual to guide you through the process of learning Python and how to use it in modern computer applications, such as data science, artificial intelligence, physical computing, and robotics.

If you are looking to learn a little about a lot of exciting things, then this is the book for you. It gives you an introduction to the topics that you will need to go deeper into any of these areas of technology.

This book guides you through the Python language and then it takes you on a tour through some really cool libraries and technologies (the Raspberry Pi, robotics, AI, data science, and so on) all revolving around the Python language.

When you work on new projects and new technologies, Python is there for you with an incredibly diverse number of libraries just waiting for you to use.

This is a hands-on book. There are examples and code all throughout the book. You are expected to take the code, run it, and then modify it to do what you want. You don’t just buy a robot, you build it so you can understand all the pieces and can make sense of the way Python works with the robot to control all the motors and sensors.

Artificial intelligence is complicated, but Python helps make a significant part of it accessible. Data science is complicated, but Python helps you do data science more easily.

Robotics is complicated, but Python gives you the code that controls the robot. And Python even allows us to tie these pieces together and use, say, AI in robotics.

In this book, we take you through the basics of the Python language in small, easy-to-understand steps.

After we have introduced you to the language, then we step into the world of Python and artificial intelligence, exploring programming in machine learning and neural networks using Python and TensorFlow and actually working on real problems and real software, not just toy applications.

After that, we’re off to the exciting world of Big Data and data science with Python. We look at big public data sets such as medical and environmental data all using Python.

Finally, you get to experience the magic of what I call “physical computing.” Using the small, inexpensive Raspberry Pi computer (it’s small but incredibly popular) we show you how to use Python to control motors and read sensors.

This is a lead-up to our final book, “Python and Robotics.” Here you learn how to build a robot and how to control that robot with Python and your own programs, even using artificial intelligence.

This is not your mother’s RC car. Python data science, robotics, AI, and fun all in the same book. This book won’t make you understand everything about these fields, but it will give you a great introduction to the terminology and the power of Python in all these fields.

Book Description: 

The one-stop resource for all your Python queries

Powerful and flexible, Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. It’s got all the right stuff for the software driving the cutting-edge of the development world―machine learning, robotics, artificial intelligence, data science, etc. The good news is that it’s also pretty straightforward to learn, with a simplified syntax, natural-language flow, and an amazingly supportive user community. The latest edition of Python All-in-One For Dummies gives you an inside look at the exciting possibilities offered in the Python world and provides a springboard to launch yourself into wherever you want your coding career to take you.

These 7 straightforward and friendly mini-books assume the reader is a beginning programmer, and cover everything from the basic elements of Python code to introductions to the specific applications where you’ll use it. Intended as a hands-on reference, the focus is on practice over theory, providing you with examples to follow as well as code for you to copy and start modifying in the “real world”―helping you get up and running in your area of interest almost right away. This means you’ll be finishing off your first app or building and remote-controlling your own robot much faster than you can believe.

Get a thorough grounding in the language basics
Learn how the syntax is applied in high-profile industries
Apply Python to projects in enterprise
Find out how Python can get you into hot careers in AI, big data, and more
Whether you’re a newbie coder or just want to add Python to your magic box of tricks, this is the perfect, practical introduction―and one you’ll return to as you grow your career.
