The book uses a very simple and accessible language. All the descriptions of Python functionalities come with intuitive examples to make you learn by doing. This is not a theoretical book and does not cover some of the most internal features of Python. The intention of the authors is to allow business-oriented people to start using Python. The main reason for such a choice of style is due to the increasing number of requests by non-technical professionals to solve daily problems and tasks. Whether the reader wants to append multiple spreadsheets or profile their customer base, being able to use a solid infrastructure which can collect, check, process, analyze data, and report results has become a basic requirement in most industries. The book first introduces the building blocks of Python which can be compared to the different types of words of a language. It introduces readers to the syntax rules of Python-statements, functions, and classes. It then introduces how to use this new language for managing data.
