Better name would be "A Short Introduction to A Few of the Basics of Python".

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016

This is a 123-page "pamphlet", printed in a smaller format than most technical books, and with big widely-spaced text. Which means you don't get all that much content. Claiming this teaches the reader to "Learn Python in one day", and even goes further to claim the reader will "LEARN IT WELL' is a gross exaggeration, in my opinion. Read some of the other 1-star reviews for comments claiming wrong descriptions about Python terminology, the lack of Object-Orientated coverage and other gripes. I'm new at Python myself (although I've programmed for years in other languages) so I won't comment on those claims but I can state that the title/sub-title is IMO misleading. Publishers have found a big market for books with titles like "Learn XXXX in 24 Hours" or "The Idiot's Guide to XXXX", which purport to make it quick and painless to learn topics that are actually quite complex and time-consuming to learn. This is yet another example of that. It's one thing to claim that this book will enable the reader to learn an involved programming language like Python in one day but to go further and claim the reader will "learn it well" is just wrong. The book should have been called "A Short Introduction to A Few of the Basics of Python". I buy lots of computer-related books, usually older editions at bargain prices and I keep them all because my feeling is if I get one good idea out of book it was well worth the investment. But I am going to return this because I don't think it's worth the price I paid. A previews of the Table of Contents would have been very helpful here, something I'd recommend Amazon require for all non-fiction books.

As an alternative check out Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner, 3rd Edition, which can be had in used copy for about the same price. The listing here has ample previews so you can see exactly what you're getting. Personally I wasn't thrilled with the whole approach being game design but at least it has 450+ pages, 12 detailed chapters (plus 2 appendices) and covers ground like OOP, dictionaries, GUI, graphics, etc. IMO, a better detail for your money.

I am a C++ programmer that wanted to start with Python programming. I purchased this book to learn the language in one day. It took me about 5 hours to read the whole book. It is nicely written book. The flow of the subjects in the book is perfect. In 5 hours I feel that I know a lot about Python. The whole book is about 120 pages, divided into 10 to 15 pages per chapter. The book covers, data types, strings, lists, tuples, dictionary, decision making, if statements, loops, etc. But it does not get in to Object Oriented stuff. Classes are not covered. I wish there was a 2nd follow up book to continue on reading into more advanced subjects.

Summary: If you are anything but an absolute beginning Python programmer (or beginning programmer), this book will be a disappointment.

I purchased this book to supplement the Python training material covered at codecademy.com. When I purchased this book, I did not realize it was 123 pages total (92 pages excluding the 5 appendices). If you purchase this book, please set your expectations appropriately and do not base them on the book title. You are not going to learn Python in a day and you are not going to learn it well from this book. You can't cover Python with such a short book. This book is for ABSOLUTE beginning programmers with no previous exposure to Python. The first few chapters tell you why you want to learn Python, setting up Python on a Windows PC, define what a variable is, discuss variable types and basic input. By the time you reach functions and file I/O, you're at the end of the book. If purchase no other Python book, it will be some time before you realize this one never covered some of the MAJOR components (and power) of the Python programming language; i.e. objects, classes, inheritance, methods, lambdas, etc. Please note, there is no index in this book. Using this book as a programming reference will be somewhat frustrating.

On a more positive note, there are a number of exercises in the book at the end of each chapter to help reinforce the concepts. I imagine some programmers will find these useful. The Appendices include working with functions; (strings, lists), dictionaries, and also include answers to the project exercises.

Good Introduxtion to Python.

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

Like others have mentioned this book is for someone who is definitely new to Python programming and is very oriented towards those with little or no programming experience.

As a retired software engineer with 40nyears of experience, I was looking for a quick, easy run down of Python syntax and capabilities. This book was perfect for that.

I would have like to see a chapter on Python object oriented capabities (again more syntax than oo concepts) and a fairly comprehensive list of Python built in functions and libraries - but all-in-all I thought it was a good intro to Python and I got what I wanted from the book.

Good introduction to basic Python syntax

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

Obviously this is not by any means a comprehensive book, but it's good to get you started and familiar with Python. I am coming from two backgrounds, R and Perl. I am at a relatively advanced level in R, but basic level in Perl. I use bash for simple tasks on files. This book was enough to get me started with Python and not feeling like it was foreign. My knowledge of syntax is heavily influenced by R as I have been using it for about 6 years, and this has really hampered my enthusiasm for learning Perl. It does corrupt my Python learning as well, but not as badly. In Python, there is a module called pandas that helps cater to my R corruption a bit. It's only been a short time since I finished this book but I can feel my enthusiasm growing for Python. I'm not sure how a complete beginner to various types of "programming" would feel about this book, but I enjoyed it because it was short and sweet and now I feel ready to turn to a larger, more comprehensive book. Since I was already familiar with basic code structures, I did not want to start with an enormous book that lays out every detail to bore the crap out of me while I'm just nailing down the basic syntax.

If you want to read through Python basics quickly and put them into practice - read this

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2017

Whisks you through the basics of Python programming with appendices to fill out the detail on string handling, lists tuples and dictionaries. It was exactly what I needed - somethging to show me the bare bones of Python so I can use it though if you are a less experienced programmer you may find the speed of it a bit breathtaking. Whatever you are I encourage you to do the project at the end (together with the extra challenges) to let you Python knowledge bed in well - it is a substantial program and I would advise that you do the coding before you look at the answers.
The way you are lead through it ,means you cannot stop to run it as you write - that delight is left until the main program has been written. I would also suggest leaving out the try: except: around the main program - at least until it runs bug free as you will lose the detailed interpreter messages if you put it in and you will flounder wondering where the problem is. And believe me there will be problems - and you will learn at least as much as before by getting rid of them. There is also tons of scope for extending the program with your own ideas.

Good introduction to Python.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

This short book is a good introduction to the fundamentals of Python coding language. The material is well explained in the earlier chapters and is very easy to grasp. All was going well until the dedicated project chapter. Even though the actual executable program is very basic, I don't think the previous chapters provided sufficient explanatory information to help tackle the intricacies of understanding, let alone coding for this specific end-of-course book. Overall, the book is a good introduction but the coding standard for the project is considerably higher than I had expected, and this chapter alone was very off-putting and frustrating.

Good for both learners and those converting from other languages.

With years of programming (programing) behind me, and Python being a new bridge to cross, I found this book to be exactly what I wanted. It's contents are presented concisely,in a logical order, and with clarity. The root and meaning of the various aspects of the language / syntax are explored in a manner that should be well understood by any beginner having a normal command of written English. If you come to the book without grand thoughts of what you already know, and work through it thoroughly, you will find as I did that it speeds up the Python learning process.

This book is a bit relaxed on how I detail it goes, I'd say its more learn python in a day and know the syntax because that's all it really goes into. But, everyone starts somewhere and this is perfect for a beginner.

Good concise book for Python beginners

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a really good book as it is simple and concise. The author focuses on getting over the key points that will allow the reader to write useful snippets of code. One day is definitely enough time (including attempting the exercises). By the end the reader should be able to determine for themselves which larger tome may be useful for longer term learning and reference. However this book really is aimed at readers who are new to Python, you will quickly outgrow it as you gain confidence and experience.
