Summary
It's no secret the world around you is becoming more connected, more configurable, more programmable, more computational. You can remain a passive participant, or you can learn to code. With Head First Learn to Code you'll learn how to think computationally and how to write code to make your computer, mobile device, or anything with a CPU do things for you. Using the Python programming language, you'll learn step by step the core concepts of programming as well as many fundamental topics from computer science, such as data structures, storage, abstraction, recursion, and modularity.

All Resources
Getting started : thinking computationally
Know your value : simple values, variables, and types
Decisive code : Booleans, decisions, and loops
Providing some structure : lists and iteration
Getting functional : functions and abstraction
Putting some order in your data : sorting and nested iteration
Putting it all together : text, strings, and heuristics
Getting modular : modules, methods, classes and objects
Beyond iteration and indices : recursion and dictionaries
Persistence : saving and retrieving files
You really should get out more : using web APIs
Getting interactive : widgets, events and emergent behavior
A trip to Objectville : object-oriented programming
Appendix : The Top Ten Topics (we didn't cover) : leftovers.
