Abstract
This book teaches the Python programming language, which is one of the most popular languages for introductory programming courses. An advantage of Python is that it is a so-called high-level language, with simple and intuitive syntax that makes it easy to get started. However, although it works well as a beginner’s language, Python is also suitable for more advanced tasks, and it is currently one of the most widely used programming languages worldwide.
