Key benefits

  • Comprehensive Python curriculum from basics to advanced concepts
  • Real-world projects, including building a Texas Hold'em Poker game
  • Hands-on coding exercises with immediate feedback for skill reinforcement

Description

This course begins with the fundamentals of Python, covering installation and setup for both macOS and Windows. You will learn core programming concepts such as variables, functions, and control flow, as well as how to work with strings and data structures like lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries. These foundational skills set you up for success in more advanced topics later in the course. As you progress, you’ll dive into object-oriented programming (OOP), learning to define classes, create objects, and work with inheritance and magic methods. Along with mastering debugging techniques, you’ll also explore web scraping with Scrapy and the essentials of unit testing. These hands-on lessons ensure you're well-prepared for real-world programming challenges. The final sections bring everything together with a project-based approach, where you’ll build a Texas Hold'em Poker game using OOP principles. This project allows you to apply everything you've learned while reinforcing key concepts. By the end of the course, you'll be confident in building, testing, and deploying Python applications, ready to take on complex development tasks.

Who is this book for?

This course is perfect for anyone who wants to learn Python from scratch. It is ideal for beginners in programming, software developers looking to transition to Python, or anyone eager to develop strong programming skills. There are no formal prerequisites, though familiarity with basic computer operations (like using a terminal) will be beneficial.

What you will learn

  • Install and configure Python on macOS and Windows
  • Create and manage variables, functions, and data types
  • Implement object-oriented programming using classes and inheritance
  • Write and test Python code with debugging tools
  • Build real-world applications like a Texas Hold'em Poker game
  • Scrape websites and parse data with the Scrapy framework

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
