The Practice of Computing Using Python, 3rd Edition

For courses in Python Programming Introduces Python programming with an emphasis on problem-solving Now in its Third Edition, Practice of Computing Using Python continues to effectively introduce readers to computational thinking using Python, with a strong emphasis on problem solving through computer science.

The authors have chosen Python for its simplicity, powerful built-in data structures, advanced control constructs, and practicality. The text is built from the ground up for Python programming, rather than having been translated from Java or C . Focusing on data manipulation and analysis as a theme, the text allows readers to work on real problems using Internet-sourced or self-generated data sets that represent their own work and interests. The authors also emphasize program development and provide readers of all backgrounds with a practical foundation in programming that suit their needs.

Among other changes, the Third Edition incorporates a switch to the Anaconda distribution, the SPYDER IDE, and a focus on debugging and GUIs. Also available with My Programming Lab My Programming Lab is an online learning system designed to engage students and improve results. My Programming Lab consists of a set of programming exercises correlated to specific Pearson CS1/Intro to Programming textbooks.

Through practice exercises and immediate, personalized feedback, My Programming Lab improves the programming competence of beginning students who often struggle with the basic concepts of programming languages.
