Introduction to Computing Using Python

---

This book is meant to help you master programming and develop computational thinking skills. Programming and computational thinking are hands-on activities that require a com- puter with a Python integrated development environment, a pen, and paper. Ideally, you should have those tools next to you as you read this book.
The book makes heavy use of small examples that use Python’s interactive shell. Try running those examples in your shell. Feel free to experiment further. It’s very unlikely the computer will burst into flames if you make a mistake!
You should also attempt to solve all the practice problems as they appear in the text. Problem solutions appear at the end of the corresponding chapter. If you get stuck, it’s OK to peek at the solution; after doing so, try solving the problem without peeking.
The text uses Caution boxes to warn you of potential pitfalls. These are very important and should not be skipped. The Detour boxes, however, discuss topics that are only tangentially related to the main discussion. You may skip those if you like. Or you may go further and explore the topics in more depth if you get intrigued.
At some point while reading this text, you may get inspired to develop your own app, whether a card game or an app that keeps track of a set of stock market indexes in real time. If so, just go ahead and try it! You will learn a lot.
