New book: Object-Oriented Programming in Python

[Michael H. Goldwasser]

We are pleased to announce the release of a new Python book.

   Object-Oriented Programming in Python
   by Michael H. Goldwasser and David Letscher
   Prentice Hall, 2008   (available as of 10/29/2007)

This book is based on materials developed after switching our
curriculum to the use of Python for an object-oriented CS1 course.
Since the primary market is an introductory course, we do not
assume any previous programming experience for our readers.  This
should make it a very good match for those who wish to self-study.

The book differs greatly from existing introductory Python books as
it warmly embraces the object-oriented nature of Python from the
onset.  It is also extremely comprehensive with solid fundamentals
as well as several "advanced" topics that can be covered as
desired.
