Prof. Philippe Tamla is the author of Python Programming from First Principles, part of the From First Principles to Intelligent Solutions series. This book develops programming through explanations, small experiments and practical projects, with applications that connect computation to human questions and everyday tasks.
The teaching approach places understanding before automation: read the code, predict its behavior, run it, change it and explain what you observe. AI assistance is optional and should support the reader’s reasoning.
