Creative Coding in Python

Out of all the ways for young people to learn coding, You Can Code will be the most welcoming, relevant, and fun. Created and authored by best-selling educator Ben Forta, it introduces every basic concept step by step, using projects of gradually increasing complexity. Designed for anyone age 10-17 (or thereabouts), this glossy full-color guide is packed with welcoming images, and powerfully engaging brief text that's extremely easy to understand. All code listings are in full color, with shading to reveal incremental changes, and QR links to short videos with more explanation and examples. Forta teaches with Python, one of today's most powerful and intuitive languages--and every project is a game, covering multiple popular genres. You Can Code makes programming exciting and rewarding, as it prepares a new generation to take their next steps forward--in education, careers, or both.

Want to kill it at your job interview in the tech industry? Want to win that coding competition? Learn all the algorithmic techniques and programming skills you need from two experienced coaches, problem setters, and jurors for coding competitions. The authors highlight the versatility of each algorithm by considering a variety of problems and show how to implement algorithms in simple and efficient code. Readers can expect to master 128 algorithms in Python and discover the right way to tackle a problem and quickly implement a solution of low complexity. Classic problems like Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm and Knuth-Morris-Pratt's string matching algorithm are featured alongside lesser known data structures like Fenwick trees and Knuth's dancing links. The book provides a framework to tackle algorithmic problem solving, including: Definition, Complexity, Applications, Algorithm, Key Information, Implementation, Variants, In Practice, and Problems. Python code included in the book
