The goal of this book, according to the author Charles Severance, is that everyone should be able to program and this book focuses exclusively on Python 3 as you can make out from the title. Also, the author makes it clear that this is not a book for experts but for beginners and those who are interested in learning programming. Instead of just teaching you how to write a script, the author shows you how to use Python to scrape the web, interact with APIs, and manage databases using SQL. This transition ensures that the reader isn’t just learning syntax, but is learning how to perform tasks that are genuinely useful in a modern professional environment.
