Python that will have you writing programs, solving problems, and making
things that work in no time. In the first half of the book, you’ll learn about
basic programming concepts, such as lists, dictionaries, classes, and loops,
and practice writing clean and readable code with exercises for each topic.
You’ll also learn how to make your programs interactive and how to test your
code safely before adding it to a project. In the second half of the book,
you’ll put your new knowledge into practice with three substantial projects: a
Space Invaders-inspired arcade game, data visualizations with Python’s super-
handy libraries, and a simple web app you can deploy online. As you work
through Python Crash Course, you’ll learn how to: Use powerful Python
libraries and tools, including matplotlib, NumPy, and PygalMake 2D games that
respond to keypresses and mouse clicks, and that grow more difficult as the
game progressesWork with data to generate interactive visualizationsCreate and
customize simple web apps and deploy them safely onlineDeal with mistakes and
errors so you can solve your own programming problems If you’ve been thinking
