For any student or professional interested in learning the fundamentals of Python

In this one-of-a-kind video package, leading Python developer and trainer Wesley Chun helps you learn Python quickly and comprehensively, so that you can immediately succeed with any Python project.

Just click and watch: One step at a time, you will master Python fundamentals. If you already have Python experience, these videos will help further develop your skills. The lessons start with an introduction to the core features of the Python language, including syntax basics and standard types and operations. The lessons progress into advanced topics, such as Python’s memory model and object-oriented programming.

This LiveLessons video course closely mirrors the topics covered in its sister publication, Core Python Programming, Second Edition (Prentice Hall, 2007). As in the book, viewers will find review questions and coding exercises at the end of each lesson in the video booklet to test the material introduced in the video and printed parts of the lesson.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Based on what I've seen from the reviews so far for the DVD, I'd like to clarify to prospective buyers that the intention/goal of the video is *not* a "show-me-do" style of on-screen hacking to teach you Python. Instead, it is a series of lectures based on my popular intensive "Intro+Intermediate Python" training course that I offer publicly several times a year (cyberwebconsulting.com).

These talks are based heavily on my "Core Python Programming" book (corepython.com). Think of it as a "video lecture series" version of Part I of the book. If you want hands-on, come to one of my courses... in addition to getting live lectures from me, you'll get 3 labs/day over 3 days. :-)

Not for beginners

ByKateJoneson December 14, 2010

Format: Paperback

I couldn't agree more with Jakinder Singh's review. Only I think that 2 stars is being generous.

It's called live LESSONS, but this is not video training at all, nor is it a course.

The title 'Python Fundamentals' is also very misleading. This is definitely NOT something that is suitable for beginners.
There are a few coding examples in the beginning, but they go very fast and any explanation is non-existant.
(I couldn't even complete the helloworld.py one from lesson 1, since I have no idea how to get IDLE to open a .py file from a location on my hard disk. There are NO instructions on how to do this).

I've watched and skimmed through half of it (despite extreme confusion from the start, I have no programming experience and only a limited understanding of the Python basics and terminology) and at best this seems to be a pocket reference in slide-show format.

Don't waste your money.

excellent introduction

Bypaul jordanon September 23, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

While there are numerous excellent web resources for python, sometimes video instruction can
make things move along faster. All the key into topic areas are covered here with clarity if not great depth. A good value.
