ISBN: 9780134379760.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor courses in Python Programming\nIntroduces Python programming with an emphasis on problem-solving\nNow 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++.\nFocusing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PEARSON EDUCATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984021745717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0134379764","price":197.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780134379760_a6e724ad-2f51-43a7-a142-a274e11669ca.jpg?v=1778921310","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/practice-of-computing-using-python-the-9780134379760","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
