Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science Review
Textbook Title:
Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science
Post
- Easy to read
- Has a glossary
- Lots of examples and questions (thought-based and vocab-based)
- Examples (and questions) are rather math based
- For loops are introduced almost immediately – would be impossible to avoid
- Ch 5 is pretty math based but still robust chapter on graphics
- Ch 6 Functions explained using Happy Birthday song
- Skip 9 (Bottom-up, Top-Down, etc)
- Could leave chapter 13 for 162
- Would like to get to all of 10-12 though if possible
-
Is it really an introduction to CS?
Maybe, it tries at least in chapter 1.
Probably more an introduction to programming.
