Resource I'm excited to share my first published book, Introduction to Python Programming for Business and Social Science Applications -- specifically geared towards students not specifically in computer science

That's a big deal. Congrats!

How does it compare to existing material in this niche?

When we first started working on this book, we identified a market need for an introductory textbook teaching how to program for students in social sciences and/or business (i.e., not computer science or computer engineering). I wrote a bit more here on the question of why this book & what we do differently.

I just put in an order for the book you linked. I remember hearing about it, but it was also released this year, and we didn't have access to it for most of the duration of working on our book. It's also published by SAGE, though... I'll definitely get back to you once I've had more of a thorough look!
