Before you begin

You might be wondering.

Is this book suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. It starts with setting up your environment, running your first line of code and understanding what programming means. Each chapter builds on the previous ones.

Can I start on a phone or tablet?

You can start with Google Colab in your browser, as explained in the book. A computer is more comfortable for longer coding sessions and projects.

Does the book include exercises and projects?

Yes: 20 main projects and 90 side missions. Read the example, write and run it yourself, then rebuild it without looking. Solutions help you compare approaches.

Will I learn data analysis and AI?

Part 6 introduces NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib for working with data and charts. It provides a foundation for further study, rather than a complete or advanced AI course.

When can I buy the English edition?

The English edition has not been published yet. It is coming soon; a release date and purchase links will be added here when available. The Persian edition is available from Kian University Press and Fidibo.
