Python Programming 101

This Computer Science text further develops the skills you learned in your first CS text or course and adds to your bag of tricks by teaching you how to use efficient algorithmsAlgorithm for dealing with large amounts of data. Without the proper understanding of efficiency, it is possible to bring even the fastest computers to a grinding halt when working with large data sets. This has happened before, and soon you will understand just how easy it can occur. But first, we’ll review some patterns for programming and look at the Python programming language to make sure you understand the basic structure and syntaxSyntax of the language.
