Idiot's Guides: Beginning Programming takes the fear out of learning programming by teaching readers the basics with Python, an open-source (free) environment which is considered one of the easiest languages to learn. Readers will learn not only the "how" of programming in Python, but the "why," so they understand how the code really works and how it relates to other programming languages. Included are simple coding projects that reinforce lessons.
Matt Telles is a senior software developer at Thompson Reuters and the author of eight books on software development subjects ranging from programming to testing. With over 25 years of experience as a developer, manager, and tester, his experience has taken him through the mainframe world, past PCs and into the cloud and beyond. He's worked on everything from Linux and MS-DOS to Windows 8 and the cloud. View titles by Matt Telles
