About the Author

Brendan is the father of three, each of whom he loves dearly. He also loves Python — not so much as his kids — but enough to start a blog (python4kids.brendanscott.com) to teach his eldest how to code it. That was in 2010! One thing led to another and the site took off. Now he has the opportunity to spread his love of Python to many more kids. He really hopes this book helps you catch that spark that makes using Python so great.
