Аннотация
I have to admit that I am surprised that interest in machine learning or AI general is sufficient to warrant a book that teaches you Python at the same time? It seems I am wrong. Python is indeed the most popular language for AI, but is there any synergy in learning it alongside how AI works?
The first few chapters of the book form a perfectly standard introduction to Python. Chapter 1 helps you install it and understand the very basics. The pace is fast and if you haven't programmed before might be too fast. Chapter 2 introduces the basics of flow of control and function. Again the pace is fast and covers some more advanced ideas such as lambda expressions, recursion and so on. Chapter 3 is all about Python collections which is a very big part of using Python. This brings the coverage of Python proper to an end. That's the whole of Python in less than 100 pages. No mention of objects or using Python as an object-oriented language - this would, of course, be impossible in such a short account? Does this matter? Probably not as many a programmer uses Python without realizing that it is object-oriented. You can achieve most of what you want to simply calling functions or using objects created by other people.
