Review:I love this method of learning to code, because you feel that what you learn in small increments through reading the short chapters and then completing the exercises stays with you. I bought all his books and am having great fun exploring the beginner stages of coding. Read more

Review:Pretty good book. It is very complete and accurate. It explains all the details of how each feature of the language works at a sufficiently low level. But it reads more like a reference book than a book to learn the main features of python. It's a large book so it might not be worth reading it straight through, but a good book to have if you're learning python or need a reference book. Read more

Review:Dan is a very experienced pythonista that knows how to transfer the knowledge acquired in a very easy to follow, learn-by-doing manner that I personally really enjoy. I admit I was a bit reluctant on buying this book first, but 5 minutes of reading proved me wrong, if you like Python and thing you know-it-all, get ready for some (delightful) surprises! Read more

Review:Excellent.

I recently began a Python project and realized that my skills had gotten pretty rusty.
Also, I decided I wanted to move up to Python 3.
The book provided many answers and insights; I have found it invaluable.
Although some parts of the book are terse, the language is, for the most part, clear and direct, without mumbo-jumbo, and it wasn't written to show how smart the authors are. (It's obvious that they are smart, smart enough to know the importance of good communicat... Read more

Review:I selected this book to help teach myself Python after having sorted through many reviews. I found the book to be very helpful and comprehensive. My only criticism is that the author uses his own library of graphing routines. I couldn't load third party software onto the network that I was using, so this put a damper on learning in that area.

Review:It's an unfortunate title for a book that contains so much cool Python info. The first part is a well-organized quickie course in Python. Even experienced users may find some goodies there. Then the author takes a very interesting tour through dozens of applications that cover much more than the title implies. In addition to automating tasks like moving, copying, and cleaning up your directories, he shows how you can use Python to make .pdf and Word files, interact with Excel files, scrape the W...

Review:A very good intro book to Python, programming in general and lots of fun. I have coded Basic, Aspect, C, Visual C++, MASM, PC Cobol in over 20 years ago and wanted to learn Python in 2014 for a Cisco NX-OS use. It was easy to follow, lots of fun, and makes a great reference too. I recommend it as a first book new to programming or to the language. It covers MAC and PC, IDEs and all the necessary and some advance areas of Python v3.x as well as GUI programming for fun games with Tkinter too. Read more

Review:It help you visualized programming as if you were a game programmer. So it's great for someone
who needs to get his head wrap up around solving problems, even if it's not for games.
Great for beginners. Read more

Review:I come to this book from the perspective from someone who has written python for many years and who has been involved in the technology world for quite some time. My children are growing up and I would like them to have confidence with programming no matter what career path they choose in life. Programming is not so much a means to an income, but a tool that empowers you to get things done no matter what your chosen career is.

My problem, how do I teach this to my kids. This book has g... Read more
