This textbook provides a succinct, yet complete, first course in computer science using Python. The Second Edition will focus on two main tasks: reorganizing the presentation, and replacing or revising many of the program examples. Classroom use has indicated there are areas that can be simplified for beginners with a different organization. Similarly, some of the program examples are overly complicated, meaning that either students struggle with unnecessary difficulties or instructors need to substitute their own examples. The revision will smooth out rough patches, while retaining the essential approach of the book: concise explanations based around interesting program examples.
