This primer offers a basic introduction to coding, via Python, and
it includes concrete examples and exercises to illustrate the
language’s usage and capabilities; the main text culminates with a
final project in structural bioinformatics. ""

Interesting...
in the first minute of scanning, I see that they go against
naming-conventions declared in PEP8 (one of the figures mentions using
camelCase for variable names, which PEP8 advises to use for Class
naming, keeping variables non-camel-case.) (looking further into
detail, even their examples have functions/methods which are
camelCase)
It is nice they mention regex in reasonable detail...
Too bad they didn't mention list/set/dict comprehensions... they're so
convenient and can beautify chunks of code into single lines.
Hopefully this gets some biologists to start programming!
