Pretty much everything that happens in a computer program can be summed up with four key principles. You’ll read about these very soon in the first section of this Chapter. You’ll feel familiar with ...

7 | Object-Oriented Programming

The Python Coding Book

In a previous Chapter, I defined programming as "storing data and doing stuff with the data". This definition is not the most technical and detailed definition you’ll read, but it’s still a very good...

5 | Dealing With Errors and Bugs

The Python Coding Book

You’ve worked your way through the first few Chapters, and you’ve written plenty of code already. You must have come across some errors and bugs along the way. Even the most proficient programmers wi...

Preface to this Chapter: You’ll learn about using NumPy in this Chapter. NumPy is a vast module with plenty of functionality. The aim of this Chapter is not to cover the entire module in detail. Whol...

9 | Dealing With Dates and Times in Python

The Python Coding Book

It’s time to talk about dates and times in Python. This area of programming is used extensively in some applications. However, there are other applications in which you’ll never need to use dates and...

6 | Functions Revisited

The Python Coding Book

Functions are a key part of all modern programming languages. When you use functions in your coding, you’re packaging code that has a specific purpose into a self-contained unit. You can then call th...

The Python Coding Book

In your first project, you learned about many of the fundamental topics in coding. You’ll need the tools and methods you used to write the Angry Goblin game for any coding you’ll do in the future. In...

4 | Data, Data Types and Data Structures

The Python Coding Book

You’ve learnt how to do quite a few things in Python in the first three chapters. You’ve seen how most things that happen in a computer program can be categorised as store , repeat , decide , or reus...

The White Room: Understanding Programming

The Python Coding Book

Understanding programming can be challenging because programming is an abstract subject. Except, it isn’t. Everything in programming is based on concrete actions that happen within your computer. Ind...
