The goal of this book is to teach you to think like a computer scientist. This way of thinking combines some of the best features of mathematics, engineering, and natural science. Like mathematicians, computer scientists use formal languages to denote ideas (specifically computations). Like engineers, they design things, assembling components into systems and evaluating tradeoffs among alternatives. Like scientists, they observe the behavior of complex systems, form hypotheses, and test predictions.

The single most important skill for a computer scientist is problem solving. Problem solving means the ability to formulate problems, think creatively about solutions, and express a solution clearly and accurately. As it turns out, the process of learning to program is an excellent opportunity to practice problem-solving skills. That’s why this chapter is called “The way of the program.” On one level, you will be learning to program, a useful skill by itself. On another level, you will use programming as a means to an end. As we go along, that end will become clearer.

The programming language you will learn is Python. Python is an example of a high level language; other high-level languages you might have heard of are C, C++, Perl, and Java.

There are also low-level languages, sometimes referred to as “machine languages” or “assembly languages.” Loosely speaking, computers can only execute programs written in low-level languages. So programs written in a high-level language have to be processed before they can run. This extra processing takes some time, which is a small disadvantage of high-level languages.

hey dude !
it was really a nice blog. specially for the once to start with software making with python at an early age say at the age of 16 just like me or for the once who are not really in this but want to start of their own.!

thanks for such a good blog.!

and hope get to see more like this.!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely keep updating this blog as much as possible. Yes, Python is the best Programming language for the one who wants to get started with programming. Python is Operating System independent (Linux, Mac, Windows), has friendly syntax (unlike C, C++, Java,), powerful scripting capabilities (better than Perl). Python is used by Google, Youtube, Facebook and NASA!...etc!
