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

Review:Access code does not provide access to MyProgrammingLab. Only the etext. Also the Pearson portal for MPL is fickle, and does not allow login with correct username/password input. I most likely will have to pay $93 for the MPL access code through Pearson. Should have just bought this new at the bookstore. Read more

Review:I have been using the various editions of this book to teach Java programming for a number of years. In terms of content the previous editions of this book have been very solid and I would them a 5 star rating. Although this 10th edition continues the tradition of solid content, I cannot rate it above 4 stars because eight chapters (that used to be part of the printed book in the previous edition) are now only accessible online. This is both inconvenient and expensive.

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:If you have some procedural programming experience already then this book will be great for you to switch to the world of OOP. If not, then take it slow, but it can still work. I took an OOP course featuring C++ and got lost quickly, but in just a few chapters of Bruce Eckels' book, he helped me to understand what I had missed. The book starts out with a great foundation of explaining what objects are, then tells us that Everything is and object, and explains why. It explained these concep... Read more
