This book is very well written. I'm a total newbie... I'm 53 years old and I'm self taught.. I wanted to learn Python programming, there wasn't any reason that I chose to do this, but let's call it a new hobby lol.
I love the approach the author takes you through to develop your python coding skills. I just started reading chapter six. I am surprised how much I've come along and learned from the examples of code, to the "try it yourself" sections. I just open up my VSCode editor and start coding along. The beginning of the book explains everything you need to do to get started. The Author, Eric Matthes is my new hero!!
Thank You..... this has been a very enjoyable read so far.......

'Terrific'"With a patient and experienced pedagogical style, and a combination of thorough language instruction and plenty of illustrative sample code, Python Crash Course is a terrific way to begin learning computer programming in general and the Python language in particular." —Michael J. Ross, web developer and former Slashdot contributor |
'Well Thought Out'“All of these projects are well thought out and presented in such a way that learning the subject matter and implementing it is much more an enjoyable pastime rather than an onerous task that must be completed. Eric took the time to deal with some rather complex projects and lay them out in a consistent, logical and pleasant manner that draws the reader into the subject willingly.” —Full Circle Magazine |
'Teaches Clean Programming'"While Python Crash Course uses Python to teach you to code, it also teaches clean programming skills that apply to most other languages." —Great Lakes Geek |
