Python Novice to Ninja: Windows Edition - PAPERBACK

When you’re programming in Python, you need the right book. Python on Windows PCs is different. While the language is (mostly) the same everywhere, the experience isn’t. Think about all the extra facilities you have on Windows: accessing and manipulating data in Microsoft Office, automatically sending emails, plus the awesome combination of PowerShell and the Py Launcher.

Start with Python fundamentals, supported by over 450 example programs to guide you. Across 50 chapters and 570 pages, you’ll learn how to manipulate and use data, present results with graphics and sound, and interface with the outside world using APIs and web programming. The book also covers how to automate your use of Outlook and other Office apps so you can build, innovate, and solve real-world problems. Many using interaction with PowerShell.

To do all this, you also need the right Python installed. Not all Python downloads are the same. You’ll learn to use them seamlessly by setting up virtual environments and moving between them. You’ll write your own libraries of modules that do exactly what you need, and you’ll develop interactive applications. Create games with graphics and sound, connect to external data sources through APIs and web programming, and explore the almost limitless possibilities Python offers on Windows.

By the end of this journey, you won’t just understand Python — you’ll have the skills and confidence to bring your own projects to life. Whether you’re launching a tech career, improving your job prospects, or simply exploring a new hobby, Python Novice to Ninja is your ultimate guide. If you are learning or programming Python on Windows - there is only one choice.
