In the book "Programming with Python," we will see how Python is a widely used programming language. It is a language with impressive internal consistency that supports a wide range of modern programming ideas while also providing a comprehensive development environment, making it suitable as an introduction to programming.

It is supported by a plethora of libraries and an active community, resulting in its widespread adoption in production environments of any scale. The purpose of the book is both to introduce the reader to programming with the Python language and to demonstrate its indicative use in a series of more specialized subjects.

In this direction, the chapters of the book are grouped into two parts. The first part provides a comprehensive examination of the majority of the elements of the language. Following this part does not require prior knowledge of programming.

The second part deals with a series of specialized uses of Python, which can be characterized as essential in modern IT. Efforts have been made to give the second part an encyclopedic tone. In this light, the book can also be used as a practical introduction to several of the modern core information technologies.
