Summary

This book is a textbook for university computer science majors. Using Python as the tool, it adopts a fairly traditional approach and emphasizes that problem solving, design, and programming are core skills in computer science. The book has 13 chapters and two appendices. Chapters 1 to 5 introduce basic knowledge such as computers and programs, writing simple programs, numerical computation, objects and graphics, and string processing. Chapters 6 to 8 cover functions, decision structures, loop structures, and Boolean values. Chapters 9 to 13 focus on more advanced programming methods, including simulation and design, classes, data collections, object-oriented design, algorithm design, and recursion. The appendices provide a quick Python reference and a glossary. Each chapter ends with abundant exercises, including review questions, discussions, and programming exercises, to help readers consolidate the knowledge and skills of that chapter. Python Programming is distinctive, with lively and interesting examples and content that is easy to read and learn. It is suitable for beginning Python programmers and also as a reference for teachers and students in university computer science programs.

Editor's review

Python Programming, published by Chongqing University Press and written by Kong Lingxin, is an introductory Python textbook for programming beginners. The book systematically introduces the basics of Python, with detailed explanations ranging from setting up the development environment, basic syntax, and data types to core concepts such as functions, modules, and object-oriented programming. It combines theory with practice and uses numerous example codes to help readers understand abstract concepts. As a university textbook, it is clearly structured and progressive, particularly suitable for readers with no programming background to build a complete knowledge system. The book covers the features of Python 3.x well and includes practical skills such as file operations and exception handling. However, for readers who already have some programming experience or wish to delve into a specialized area (such as data analysis or web development), the content may be too basic and general, and more specialized materials will be needed for further study. Overall, this is a solid and reliable introductory guide that helps readers build a firm Python foundation.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Lower-year students in computer-related majors at colleges and universities
Complete beginners who want to learn Python programming systematically
Self-learners who need a clearly structured, carefully explained textbook
Hobbyists interested in programming who want to learn basic Python syntax

Not a good fit for

Developers with extensive programming experience seeking advanced Python techniques or in-depth application in specific domains
Readers who want to quickly master a specialized Python library (such as NumPy or Django) for project development

Reading tips

Read in chapter order and practice every code example in the book
Use an online programming environment or a locally installed Python interpreter to practice alongside the text and deepen understanding
After the basic chapters, try using the knowledge to solve simple real-world problems to consolidate learning

孔令信 Author

Kong Lingxin is an author of computer books about whom limited public information is available. Four works can currently be confirmed, mainly aimed at university-level basic computer education and introductory Python programming. Representative works include Python Programming and Python Programming Practice; the former focuses on syntax and programming thinking, while the latter provides practice to help readers apply what they have learned. The other two, University Computer Basics Tutorial and University Computer Basics Practice Tutorial, cover fundamental computer knowledge and hands-on exercises, reflecting an approach that combines theory with practice. His writing centers on programming instruction and university computer basics, often pairing a tutorial with companion practice material and emphasizing learning paths for beginners. As details such as education, positions, and awards are unconfirmed, they are not included here; readers may turn to the works above to understand his writing style.

刘振东 Author

Liu Zhendong is an author about whom little public information is available; his nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background cannot be confirmed. Judging from the four works held in the collection, his writing spans programming design and medicine, reflecting a fairly broad technical range. Python Programming and Python Programming Practice form a pair, one focusing on language fundamentals and the other on hands-on exercises, suitable for university courses or self-study. University Computer Basics targets general computer education and stays close to classroom needs. The remaining work, on wavelength-switching technology in high-performance liquid chromatography for quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine, reflects his professional grounding in analytical chemistry and quality control. Overall, his works are mainly textbooks and research-based titles, emphasizing practicality and applicability for teaching and professional practice.

马亚军 Author

Ma Yajun is a Chinese author of programming books, though publicly available information about him remains limited. His confirmed works are concentrated on teaching the Python language. Two of his books are included in the collection: Python Programming and Python Programming Practice. Both are commonly classified under programming design. The first focuses on explaining language fundamentals and program design concepts, while the second is practice-oriented and complements the first by reinforcing hands-on skills. Judging from the titles and classification, his writing is aimed at beginners and readers who need systematic training in programming, emphasizing the transition from syntax basics to practical coding, with both conceptual explanations and exercises. Overall, Ma Yajun has published only a small number of works, yet within the niche of introductory Python textbooks they form a coordinated pairing that offers readers a relatively coherent learning path.
