In many cases, there is so much information available that it can be a real challenge to decide exactly where to start. Even worse, you may finally take the first steps toward learning, only to quickly discover far too many concepts, programming examples, and nuances that aren't fully and thoughtfully explained. This type of experience can be incredibly frustrating, ultimately leaving you with more questions than answers.

Python Succinctly will help you sidestep this frustration. In this book we make no assumptions about your technical background, your knowledge of computer programming, or your general understanding of the Python language. You need no prior knowledge to benefit from reading this book. In these pages you will be guided step-by-step using a logical and systematic approach. While there will be new concepts, code, and jargon introduced, they will be explained in plain language, making it easy for absolutely anyone to understand.
