DESCRIPTION:
… Aimed at younger readers, but accessible to all, Craven’s teaching experience shows through in both tone and pace … . “This book does a superb job of fitting programming concepts – and Python learning – to building several games with the ever useful Pygame library. Plentiful exercises, including a whole chapter at the end revisiting every project in the book, drive the lessons deep. Well written, well developed, and … very enjoyable to work through.” (The MagPi, Issue 46, June, 2016)
Tom Servo said Unique intro to programming using Python & Pygame. This is a different book for teaching programming than most. First, it's based off a website with the book's contents, lab exercises, quizzes and youtube videos(!) all freely available. You can create an account (for free) and progress through the website. The "book" is basically much of the website in text form. (I reviewed the April "Unique intro to programming using Python & Pygame" according to Tom Servo.

It is 100% true that you can write a video game by the end of the book which is way more cool than just learning how to do functions and other math in Python.. Excellent resource for learning Python h in tn I haven't been through the whole book yet, but so far I like it very much. The writing is clear and to the point. Now, I have to say that I already know how to program in Python. I was looking for a book to use in teaching. So I can't say whether this would be enough info if you were trying to learn how to program for the first time ever using only this book. I will set my daughter on that task and report back. I have looked at a lot of programming books and something about this one appeals to me. It is trying to get you started
