[Recommendation]

This book provides a solid grasp of the basic concepts of Python.
It is thoroughly beginner-friendly so that anyone can understand, but it never skims over anything and the flow is smooth, allowing you to naturally build a solid foundation.
It covers classes, which are especially difficult for beginners, and you can experience object-oriented programming through practical examples similar to actual games.
_Lee Yong-taek

It was really great to see the book and lectures together.
This book can serve as a cornerstone for those who are just starting out with Python.
Running the code myself with interesting examples really helped me a lot in studying the basics.
_Kim Ye-won

This book helps even non-majors easily get started with coding, with concise explanations that focus on the key points, directly relatable analogies, and a structure that gradually builds concepts between chapters.
After learning coding through Nado Coding's lecture, I read this book and reorganized the overall content and detailed concepts.
Even though I only attended the lectures, I gained a lot from the book because it visually illustrates the concepts briefly explained in the lectures and fleshes them out through clear definitions.
This is a book that even beginners to coding can start with without any burden.
_Jeon Young-soo

Other Python books often leave out detailed explanations, which can be confusing, but this book is good because it explains in detail any parts that might be difficult.
What helped me the most was the part about building games using classes and methods.
While making a game, I was able to experience classes vividly through rich examples such as creating classes directly, inheriting them, and creating units.
I think it's the most beginner-friendly and perfect textbook.
_Cha Min-kyung

It was made so easy that even a woman in her 40s could try it.
After only watching video lectures, my understanding of code improved after reading the book.
Also, as I solved practice problems and applied what I had learned previously, I realized that there was still a lot left to study.
I still have more to learn, but I'm glad I took the first step, and it's also sparked my curiosity about other languages, so overall I'm satisfied.
_Lee Jin-hyang

This book is a great help to those who dream of becoming developers.
It is packed with information on how to install and run the environment required for practice, theoretical content and examples required for development, and simple game creation.
It's very helpful for beginners because it gives you a detailed understanding of how the code works.
If you know anyone who wants to learn Python, I would recommend this book.
_Kim Ki-heum

The content was intuitive and easy to read.
It was easy for beginners to learn and understand, as it explained the basics of Python and its core content with easy examples.
The book was well organized, so I was able to study without feeling burdened and in a fun way.
