Dive into the world of coding with "Python Programming for Beginners: An Introduction to Coding Fundamentals and Concepts" by Cory Owens—a comprehensive, hands-on guide designed for absolute beginners. Published in 2025, this first edition transforms novices into confident programmers through clear, step-by-step instructions and practical projects.

Start with the basics: install Python, write your first "Hello, World!" script, and master variables, data types, and syntax. Progress to control flow with if-else statements and loops, building interactive games like number-guessing challenges. Learn reusable functions for modular code, explore data structures (lists, dictionaries, sets), and tackle algorithms such as sorting and recursion.

Real-world applications abound, from automating tasks and analyzing data to creating web apps and to-do list managers. Each chapter includes exercises, challenges, and troubleshooting tips to reinforce learning. Advanced sections introduce file I/O, libraries like NumPy and Pygame, and projects like web scraping and simple games.
