We are pleased to announce the release of a new Python book. Object-Oriented Programming in Python by Michael H. Goldwasser and David Letscher Prentice Hall, 2008 (available as of 10/29/2007)
The book differs greatly from existing introductory Python books as it warmly embraces the object-oriented nature of Python from the onset. It is also extremely comprehensive with solid fundamentals as well as several "advanced" topics that can be covered as desired. This book is based on materials developed after switching our curriculum to the use of Python for an object-oriented CS1 course. Since the primary market is an introductory course, we do not assume any previous programming experience for our readers. This should make it a very good match for those who wish to self-study. The book includes 93 end-of-chapter "practice" problems with full solutions in an appendix, as well as an additional 300 end-of-chapter exercises. There is also an appendix that helps readers who have finished the book transition their skills to additional language, showing side-by-side examples of code in Python, Java and C++.
