The book is about simplifying the coding intricacies that impede people from learning Python. Assuming no prior knowledge of coding, the book takes a practical, simplified approach, making the fancy Python concepts accessible. The book orients the user to the fundamentals of programming and the behaviour of Python. The user is expected to understand how the machine interprets letters and numbers in such systems as binary and decimal using Python.
They will be taught how to switch numbers between binary and decimal systems. So, they will learn that 1+1 = 10, and they are expected to have gained knowledge about Python's simple code that underpins cryptography. Finally, they will take the stairs to the top by taking first steps in becoming a developer through learning Python function. This topic among others teaches an interesting mathematical programming concept known as recursion: a function that instructs itself to run some tasks.
