Great introduction to Python 3 (up to 3.9)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

Programming books quickly go out of date. The Python 3.10 release makes some of the content in the book incorrect. Otherwise, the book is great to use in introductory scripting/Python courses.

Verified Purchase

Coverage - the book gives enough examples to cover python topics in detail.
Learning - with my intermediate Perl background, I did not have any issues reading and understanding the material.

For New Learners - if you have no programing background, learn the topics at top level first before jumping into books detail, and to avoid confusing yourself, understand the examples.

The best book out there for someone new to programming

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this book in preparation for a beginners python class that I had coming up because I was worried that I would struggle with the class. I spent about 3 weeks going through the book from cover to cover, doing all of the challenges - some more than once, and others I would do over again with my own twist on them to see what would happen.

When I took my class in school it was a breeze! I think I learned 10x more from this book than the class ever would have taught me! It was a huge relief to be able to make my way through my class with confidence and I still use this book as a reference now. It is well laid out, well paced, and will get you up to speed in python quickly!

Some of the code in this book is wrong

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

You could definitely learn something from this I copied one of the codes line for line out of this book and for the life of me could not get the program to work it was the Magic 8 Ball So I Googled that code and the ones I pulled from the internet are substantially different than the one that came out of this book seems to be a sign the book doesn't know what it's talking about

Great beginner reading for Python

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm a total Python beginner and started my Python learning using this book. I enjoyed reading it, especially the analogy and examples. The author did a great job using daily and easy-to-understand examples to explain some of the difficult concepts. Really got my Python study going.

Took a Python class with the author. The class didn't have a text book and the video for the class were not very detailed. This book made the class labs easier to handle.

Disappointing and very superficial treatment of the subject

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not impressed. Very basic. Lot of repetition and poor examples imho.
Covers the basics but could have done so in half the number of pages.
Disappointing and there are much better if more expensive books you should consider.
I have fairly extensive computer programming experience in many languages but no knowledge of Python. I found almost nothing here I couldn’t pick up from the Python documentation and other online sites.
