Editor's review

This book explains Python programming from a beginner's perspective in 12 chapters. It covers the fundamentals of computers and programs, writing simple programs, sequences, functions, decision and loop structures, data collection, classes and objects, object-oriented design, and the Python computational ecosystem, and also addresses engineering habits such as exception handling, testing, and debugging. The book incorporates the test point system of the National Computer Rank Examination Level 2 Python Language Programming exam and uses small cases such as health alarms, coin change statistics, projectile flight, and short-handled squash matches to explain concepts step by step. The interface diagrams are relatively abundant, lowering the threshold for beginners. Each chapter includes knowledge extension and short stories about famous people, balancing quality education. It is suitable as a textbook for introductory courses in higher vocational colleges or undergraduate programs, and also for readers preparing for Level 2 Python who want systematic study; self-learners can follow the cases to consolidate syntax and design ideas.

Who it's for

A good fit for

College students with no prior experience or beginner Python learners who need a systematic introduction
Candidates preparing for the National Computer Rank Examination Level 2 Python Language Programming exam
Python course teachers who use case-based teaching and need a supporting textbook
Self-learners who want to understand syntax and object-oriented design through small cases

Not a good fit for

Developers who already have Python foundations and seek advanced frameworks or engineering practice
Readers focusing on vertical fields such as data analysis or machine learning
Users who only want a quick syntax reference and do not need a systematic tutorial

Reading tips

Study the chapters in order, reading the concepts first and then typing each case in the book by hand.
Rewrite and extend cases such as health alarms and coin change to deepen understanding of syntax.
After learning functions and classes, try to independently design a small program and write unit tests for it.
Readers preparing for Level 2 can compare chapters with the test point system and mark corresponding key points for review.

FAQ

Can readers with no programming background understand this book?

This book starts from the fundamentals of computers and programs and progresses chapter by chapter. The cases are accompanied by interface diagrams, making it suitable for beginners. It is recommended to type the code while reading; when encountering errors, first troubleshoot on your own and then refer to the book's explanations. This will be much more effective than reading without practice.

What is the relationship between the cases in the book and the exam test points?

This book incorporates the test point system of the National Computer Rank Examination Level 2 Python Language Programming exam. The cases help readers understand syntax and program design ideas. When preparing for the exam, you can review chapters against the test points, but the specific exam requirements should still be based on the official syllabus for the current year.

What level can I reach after finishing this book?

After studying the book completely and completing the exercises, you can master introductory knowledge such as basic Python syntax, common data structures, functions, classes and objects, exception handling, and testing and debugging, and can write small programs. The object-oriented design and computational ecosystem sections lay a foundation for further study, but more project practice is still needed for engineering practice.

About the author

苏琳 Author

Public information about Su Lin is currently limited. With six titles carried in the library, her writing spans cultural popularization, self-help and personal growth, computer education, and history. Her cultural work, A Quick Guide to Chinese Tea Culture, presents the basics of tea culture in clear, accessible language. In the self-help field, The Wisdom of Not Complaining for 365 Days (Yoga for the Mind) and The Immersive Learning Method You Can Master at Once focus on adjusting one's mindset and improving study methods. For computing, she is the author of Python Programming, an introduction to programming fundamentals for beginners. Her history titles, The Tweun Order: Emperor Wu of Han's Masterstroke and What You Should Know About Breaking Through with Strategy (3-volume set), draw on historical episodes to discuss strategy and approaches to handling affairs. Overall, her writing leans toward knowledge popularization and practical guidance, with plain language and an emphasis on readability for beginning readers.

胡洋 Author

Hu Yang is an author about whom little public information is currently available: his nationality, dates of birth and death, educational background, and professional experience are not clearly documented, and only one of his works is held in the collection. Based on the existing information, Hu Yang is known for the book Python Programming, which falls under the general computing category and belongs to the field of programming language learning for beginners. Works of this kind are typically aimed at newcomers and university students, emphasizing the connection between syntax fundamentals, programming thinking, and hands-on practice. The book can be presumed to adopt a teaching-oriented, example-driven approach that moves from the simple to the more advanced, turning abstract concepts into workable coding exercises. Since details about the author's personal background and writing career remain incomplete, a full assessment of his style and broader influence awaits further material.

何小平 Author

He Xiaoping: publicly available information about this author is currently limited, and a complete personal and professional background cannot be confirmed. According to the records in the library, He Xiaoping has one work, Python Programming, which is categorized under general computer science and is a technical book aimed at programming learners. Python is known for its concise syntax and relatively low entry barrier, and is commonly used for data processing, scripting, and introductory teaching. Textbooks of this kind therefore generally need to balance clear explanations of foundational concepts with guidance for hands-on programming practice. The title Python Programming indicates that the author focuses on the core syntax of the Python language and the methods of program design, serving the needs of beginners. Because more verifiable information is unavailable, He Xiaoping's other writing directions and academic background cannot yet be assessed, and the actual impact of this work remains to be tested by readers and the market.
