Preface
Welcome!
This text provides an introduction to writing software in Python. No previous
programming experience is necessary.
Most chapters b egin with an example program illustrating a small set of new
concepts. These programs are available for download at http://www.central
.edu/go/conciseintro/. However, you might consider typing each program
in by hand rather than using the downloaded files. The reason is that you
can learn by typing, both in terms of thoroughly reading the programs, and
responding to error messages that result from typos. Rather than being a
hindrance, learning to deal with error messages will be quite helpful as you
