Snake Charming - The Musical Python

An innovative introduction to Python and its audio-visual capabilities for beginning programmers, this book is also a resource for expert programmers and of interest to anyone interested in music. It is structured around four extensible, audio-visual projects on music and sound. Beginners will appreciate the ''need to know'' basis of the presentation of Python for each project, whilst expert programmers will be able to go straight to the project code, run it and then extend as they see fit. Musically-interested readers will enjoy the historical and theoretical material at the beginning of each project, and may even be tempted to try some coding.
