N2  - This book is written for the first year students of Engineering– A blend of theory and solved problems will equip the students with the fundamental knowledge and application of the coding concepts. This will nurture them to have a strong foundation for the courses in the subsequent semesters.

This book ensures a smooth and successful transition to being a skilled Python expert. The book uses a simple-to-complex and easy-to-learn approach throughout. The concept of ‘learning by-solving has been stressed everywhere in the book. Each feature of Python is treated in depth followed by a complete program example to illustrate its use. Wherever necessary, concepts are explained pictorially to facilitate better understanding. The book presents a contemporary approach to programming, offering a combination of theory and practice.
