What We Are Reading Today: ‘Python Practice Lab’

What We Are Reading Today: ‘Python Practice Lab’

Authors: Angelica Lim and Victor Cheung

This classroom-tested, workbook-style text teaches basic programming by guiding readers to write Python programs that mimic interactive chatbots. 

Unlike textbooks with opaque examples explained in dry, monotonous code, “Python Practice Lab” engages readers immediately, with more than 30 motivating and hands-on examples. 

Readers learn by writing fun, working programs that gradually become more difficult as new concepts are introduced. Most exercises are open ended, promoting creativity in the process of learning.
