5.0 out of 5 stars Good for Beginners - Holding Your Hand, November 4, 2005

By 

Miguel "miguel" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Python Training Course (Complete Training Course) (Paperback)

I came to this book almost as a complete beginner. Had downloaded Python 2.something, read Alan Gaud's Tutorial and perhaps some other excelent tuts on the web like Magnus Python.

The book is huge. It covers a lot of material and does a good job holding the hand of the newbie throught learning to program.

It's very well suited to it's end: Teach someone who as not programmed before!

Good job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Having fun learning a new computer language..., July 11, 2003

"jdebay9" (Holliston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Python Training Course (Complete Training Course) (Paperback)

Having just finished Chapter 1 and now working on Chapter 2.

I just wanted to let you know this is great system for learning Python computer language.

Also the example code works fine with version 1.52 of Python on a Palm PDA.

And I have it working on my Linux system with version 5 of Win4Lin that lets me run windows under Linux. And that is working great also.

Thanks for the great product.
