This book is meant for Snap (and Scratch) programmers. It gives them a jumpstart into the Python universe. Snap is essentially a major upgrade to Scratch and it's an excellent bridge to Python. Snap adds a number of CS concepts and programming features that are missing in Scratch. The continuation of the familiar block-based interface helps students work with these advanced ideas fairly comfortably. This book assumes that the reader is familiar with the Snap programming language and the basics of computational thinking. It simply takes Snap concepts and features and shows their equivalent in Python. The book is by no means a comprehensive guide to Python. But thanks to Snap's extensive CS capability, you learn enough about Python to be able to start writing serious programs.
