Python 101: Learn the Python Basics in 14 Days is your beginner’s guide to becoming a Python coder in just 14 days. This book is for anyone wanting to learn to become a programmer but unsure how to get started. Python 101 makes learning quick and easy by teaching you only the essentials needed to start programming. Time is of the essence, so why waste it learning arbitrary concepts not required to achieve your goal? This book is structured to accommodate your everyday busy life. Throughout the 14 days, you will be exposed to the fundamentals to become a beginner Python programmer. There are several mini-projects and challenges along the way to reinforce your understanding of each lesson. Each day builds upon previous days to help your progression in building Python programming skills.

Below is a glance at the fundamental skills you’ll discover in your 14-day endeavor:

✓ Create variables of all data types and assign values
✓ Generate lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries
✓ Perform math calculations and create a calculator program
✓ Compare values, variables, and conditions using operators
✓ Take in user inputs and provide responses
✓ Make decisions using if-else statements, while, and for loops
✓ Handling errors by exceptions that would typically cause a program to crash or halt
✓ Learning to use third party libraries to build applications faster
✓ Read and create text files using Python
✓ Create Classes and Objects as an introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

There are three Nerd Challenges in the book, a Nerd Challenge is a small project based task that allows you to use concepts learned about previously in a bigger project:

1. Create a text based calculator
2. Debugging a broken program
3. Create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based calculator

If you are looking for a beginner Python book, that will keep you on task and stick to the fundamentals, this is your book.
