Advance Praise for Head First Programming

Head First Programming does a great job teaching programming using an iterative process. Add a little,

explain a little, make the program a little better. This is how programming works in the real world and Head First Programming makes use of that in a teaching forum. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to start dabbling in programming but doesn't know where to start. I'd also recommend this book to anyone not necessarily new to programming, but curious about Python. It's a great intro to programming in general and programming Python specifically." Jer emy Jones, Coauthor of Python for Unix and Linux System Administration "David Griffiths and Paul Barry have crafted the latest gem in the Head First series. Do you use a computer, but are tired of always using someone else's software? Is there something you wish your computer would do but wasn't programmed for? In

Head First Programming, you'll learn how to write

code and make your computer do things your way."

Bill Mietelski, Software Engineer

H ead First Programming provides a unique approach to a complex subject. The early chapters make excellent use of metaphors to introduce basic programming concepts used as a foundation for the rest of the book. This book has everything, from web development to graphical user interfaces and game programming." Dou g Hellmann, Senior Software Engineer, Racemi "A good introduction to programming using one of the best languages around,

Head First Programming

uses a unique combination of visuals, puzzles, and exercises to teach programming in a way that is approachable and fun." Ted Leung, Principal Software Engineer, Sun Microsystems

Praise for other Head First books

"Kathy and Bert's Head First Java transforms the printed page into the closest thing to a GUI you've ever

seen. In a wry, hip manner, the authors make learning Java an engaging 'what're they gonna do next?' experience." War ren Keuffel, Software Development Magazine

"Beyond the engaging style that drags you forward from know-nothing into exalted Java warrior status, Head

First Java covers a huge amount of practical matters that other texts leave as the dreaded 'exercise for the

reader....' It's clever, wry, hip and practical - there aren't a lot of textbooks that can make that claim and live

up to it while also teaching you about object serialization and network launch protocols."

Dr. Dan Russell, Dir

ector of User Sciences and Experience Research IBM Almaden Research Center (and teaches Articial Intelligence at

Stanford University)

"It's fast, irreverent, fun, and engaging. Be careful - you might actually learn something!"

Ken Arnold, for

mer Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems

Coauthor (with James Gosling, creator of Java),

The Java Programming

Language

"I feel like a thousand pounds of books have just been lifted off of my head." War d Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and founder of the Hillside Group

"Just the right tone for the geeked-out, casual-cool guru coder in all of us. The right reference for practi-

cal development strategies - gets my brain going without having to slog through a bunch of tired, stale

professor -sp eak." Tra vis Kalanick, Founder of Scour and Red Swoosh

Member of the MIT TR100

"There are books you buy, books you keep, books you keep on your desk, and thanks to O'Reilly and the

Head First crew, there is the penultimate category, Head First books. They're the ones that are dog-eared,

mangled, and carried everywhere. Head First SQL is at the top of my stack. Heck, even the PDF I have for review is tattered and torn." Bil l Sawyer, ATG Curriculum Manager, Oracle

"This book's admirable clarity, humor and substantial doses of clever make it the sort of book that helps

even non-programmers think well about problem-solving." Cory

Doctorow, co-editor of Boing Boing

Author, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

and Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town

Praise for other Head First books

"I received the book yesterday and started to read it... and I couldn't stop. This is definitely très 'cool.' It

is fun, but they cover a lot of ground and they are right to the point. I'm really impressed." Eri ch Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer, and co-author of Design Patterns "One of the funniest and smartest books on software design I've ever read." Aar on LaBerge, VP Technology, ESPN.com

"What used to be a long trial and error learning process has now been reduced neatly into an engaging

paperback." Mik e Davidson, CEO, Newsvine, Inc. "Elegant design is at the core of every chapter here, each concept conveyed with equal doses of pragmatism and wit." Ken Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Disney Online "I

Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML

- it teaches you everything you need to learn in a 'fun coated' format." Sal ly Applin, UI Designer and Artist

"Usually when reading through a book or article on design patterns, I'd have to occasionally stick myself

in the eye with something just to make sure I was paying attention. Not with this book. Odd as it may

sound, this book makes learning about design patterns fun.

"While other books on design patterns are saying 'Buehler... Buehler... Buehler...' this book is on the

float belting out 'Shake it up, baby!'" Eri c Wuehler "I literally love this book. In fact, I kissed this book in front of my wife." Sat ish Kumar

Paul: This one's dedicated to my father, Jim Barry, who, 25 years ago - when I needed a push - pushed me toward computing. That was a good push. viii the authors

Authors of Head First Programming

Paul Barry recently worked out that he has

been programming for close to a quarter century, a fact that came as a bit of a shock. In that time, Paul has programmed in lots of different programming languages, lived and worked in two countries on two continents, got married, had three kids (well... his wife

Deirdre actually

had them, but Paul did play his part), completed a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computing, written two other books, written a bunch of technical articles for Linux Journal, and managed not to lose his hair... a situation that, sadly, may in fact be changing.

When Paul first saw

Head First HTML with CSS &

XHTML, he loved it so much he knew immediately that the Head First approach would be a great way to teach programming. He is only too delighted, together with David, to create this book in an attempt to prove his hunch correct. Paul's day job is working as a lecturer at The Institute of Technology, Carlow in Ireland. As part of the

Department of Computing & Networking, Paul gets

to spend his day exploring, learning, and teaching cool programming technologies, which is his idea of fun (and further proof that Paul probably needs to get out more). Paul hopes his students think the stuff he teaches is fun, too.

Paul Barry

David Griffiths

David Griffiths began programming at age 12,

when he saw a documentary on the work of Seymour

Papert. At age 15, he wrote an implementation of

Papert's computer language LOGO. After studying

Pure Mathematics at University, he began writing code for computers and magazine articles for humans. He's worked as an agile coach, a developer, and a garage attendant, but not in that order. He can write code in over 10 languages and prose in just one, and when not writing, coding, or coaching, he spends much of his spare time travelling with his lovely wife—and fellow

Head First

author—Dawn.

Before writing

Head First Programming

, he wrote another book called

Head First Rails

, which is an excellent read and would make a thoughtful gift for any close friend or family member.

Finding your way

1 starting to code Writing programs gives you the power to control your PC. Almost everyone knows how to a computer, but few people take the next step and learn how to it. If you use other people"s software, you will always be limited by what other people think you want to do. Write your own programs and the only limit will be your own imagination. Programming will make you more creative, it wil l make you think more precisely, and it will teach you to analyze and solve problems logically. Do you want to be programmed or be the programmer? table of contents xi

Every string has its place

Imagine trying to communicate without words.

All programs process data, and one of the most important types of data i s text. In this chapter, you'll work through the basics of textual data. You'll automatically search text and get back exactly what you"re looking for. Along the way, you'll pick up key programming concepts such as methods and how you can use them to bend your data to your will. And finally, you'll instantly power up your programs with the help of library code textual data 2
