Keynote - Why University Teachers Wrote a Python Textbook?

As an elective course in the liberal arts and sciences program,
Kyoto University has held a Python programming course since 2018.
For this course, we developed a textbook in 2019, and continuously revised
it. We also made the 2019 and the 2021 editions open to the public
with the Creative Commons license CC-BY-NC-ND. We obtained various opinions
that they are good learning material, and
up to September 2023, we observed more than 1 million downloads.
In this talk, the speaker explains why we developed a textbook by
ourselves instead of using already published ones,
and points in the design of it considering self-learning by university
students
as a novice in programming, and to meet a course goal that the learner
can design, code, and test small Python programs by themselves.
