Programming is not a "spectator sport". It is something you do, something you participate in. It would make sense, then, that the book you use to learn programming should allow you to be active. That is our goal.
This book is meant to provide you with an interactive experience as you learn to program in Python. You can read the text, watch videos, and write and execute Python code. In addition to simply executing code, there is a unique feature called 'codelens' that allows you to control the flow of execution in order to gain a better understanding of how the program works.
We have tried to make it as easy as possible for you to build and use this book.
- You can build it and host it yourself in just a few simple steps:
pip install -r requirements.txt
-- Should install everything you needrunestone build
-- will build the html and put it in./build/thinkcspy
runestone serve
-- will start a webserver and serve the pages locally from./build/thinkcspy
