This book is needed because Python is becoming the language through which freshman computer science and engineering students are introduced to the concepts of programming and computer science This book is a timely and strong alternative to the existing textbooks This book introduces concepts by starting with the Q/A 'WHY'? and proceeds by the Q/A 'HOW'?. Most other books start with the Q/A 'WHAT'? which is then followed by a 'HOW'? The CS content of this book is not hijacked by a programming language Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:
“It is aimed at college freshmen and teaches fundamental concepts and abstract notions, starting with the basics. … the exercises are the book’s most attractive feature. There are sample programs, and the exercises ask readers to figure out the expected outputs. These are great, and could even serve as excellent job interview questions! Overall, the book serves its purpose, and its intended audience, well.” (Naga Narayanaswamy, Computing Reviews, September, 2013)
“Üçoluk and Kalkan (both, Middle East Technical Univ., Turkey) offer a self-contained, concise introduction to computer science and Python programming. The intended audience is college freshmen taking their first computer science course. … It covers basic programming in Python along with programming paradigms, data structures, and even computational complexity … . Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates.” (S. L. Tanimoto, Choice, Vol. 50 (11), July, 2013)()
