About the book

Stop reading about Python and start building with it. Volume 1 of The Python Developer's Handbook takes you from your very first line of code to writing tools that do real work: games and converters in your first week, then files, CSV and JSON, error handling, virtual environments, web APIs, web scraping, and automation scripts that run on a schedule. Every chapter includes worked examples, a mini-project, a larger project, debugging tips, common mistakes, exercises, and a stretch challenge. No computer science background needed.
