This first introductory book designed to train novice programmers is based on a student course taught by the author, and has been optimized for biology students without previous experience in programming. By interspersing theory chapters with numerous small and large programming exercises, the author quickly shows readers how to do their own programming, and throughout uses anecdotes and real-life examples from the biosciences to 'spice up' the text. This practical book thus teaches essential programming skills for life scientists who want -- or need -- to write their own bioinformatics software tools.
As a consequence, more and more biologists have begun to write small programs, using such script-based languages as Perl and Python. By interspersing theory chapters with numerous small and large programming exercises, the author quickly shows readers how to do their own programming, and makes use throughout of anecdotes and real-life examples from the biosciences to optimize the text for biologists. From the Back Cover In the post-genomic era, every biologist is faced with the task of complex data analysis and interpretation. This first introductory book designed to train biology students without previous experience in programming is based on a student course given by the author, and teaches essential skills for life scientists who want -- or need -- to write their own bioinformatics software tools.

a total mess Irene This is the worst book I have bought in a long time! It starts out with an overview of different computer languages which does not seem very relevant and is totally incomprehensible for anyone without much of a computer science background (even though this should be "a practical course for beginners"). I then skipped to Chapter 4 "Getting the materials" hoping that this would be more understandable and relevant. Unfortunately, things did not get better. Fo. Seth said Better book than reviews suggest. OK. So, this book is not a typical how-to guide or a standard reference book, in spite of the title. And this is kind of refreshing. In fact, the book does a good job of presenting useful information in an intellectually engaging and entertaining way.The author points out in the introduction that his main topic is neither Python nor Bioinformatics. His central purpose seems to be to offer a useful conceptual framework -- with skill-building exercises -- fo. Hunter Moseley said This book is not for beginners. This book is not for beginners.It reads more like an overview of programming languages in the context of bioinformatics.It is also a bit biased with respect to preferences in languages.Do not buy this book if you are trying to learn python unless you are an excellent programmer with broad knowledge of multiple programming languages.
