Hello. This is the book we're using for my bioinformatics course in the Fall of 2018. I have found numerous caveats of this course textbook while completing the course. HTSeq, PIL or Pillow, are a few of the modules that don't install on python versions past some version 2-3 versions before the current one, try LInux, set up anaconda, figure out how to get the right version to communicate with your environments of python 3.6, 3.7, 2.7, ..., Other modules currently an issue, pyside, not finding it. I have had more trouble getting the correct modules and python versions to run before stressing out over the code. Greatly written code with resources that if all things remained constant and perfectly independent would probably work out great. fortunately for me, my professor is still deciding how to grade my assignments in an accelerated grad course dependent on this book when they are programming requirements. There are all sorts of questions that will take you to the first source of answers from stackoverflow, that refuse to keep ticket items open, and so you find that these questions asked 1-3 years ago have no direct answers. Python is not for Do It Yourselfers. Do not be that guy on a bridge! Seriously, you will fail miserably and feel a big giant interval of your life was wasted getting absolutely nowhere. Open source, is openly not the write platform for DIYers, please know this before hand, and there has to be something better than stackoverflow. It is like listening to the rants of facebook from people you never talk to flood your personal life that makes you deactivate it. I am seriously doubtful I will further any more studies in open source when the dependencies and language you have to know feels like wasting away watching things like pokeman, anime, and Harry Potter. Who has time to know the relevant lingo of those episodes and movies. Stick to SQL or EXCEL, R and Python will be a huge dissappointment. Few people understand it, it keeps changing, and when the code works, the modules aren't compatible with your version. I can go on and on and on about this. So they hire a python or R programmer, invests all the growing companies past into these builds, fire the guy and cannot find anybody else to understand what the hell the other guy did to their builds or whatever. I hope you like fishing, because you will be doing a lot of internet fishing, hours of it, to get the right install, then the right code, then try remembering each version and module or OS you used. I love it when you know what to ask, but just didn't ask it right. Because there is a right way to ask a question that includes your problem, what you tried, what OS, what version, and what results of error. Then follow the link provided after a week or more, then fish through that to do more question asking and more fishing. This is for people serious about hijacking or kidnapping business information and selling it back for randsom. I don't see the benefits in open source if the time wasted is more than the money spent using a solid software with similar or better functionality. It gets five stars because it looks promising in a perfect python world, but yet to find it.
Plus the resources of example code and designed to be for the DIYs out there willing to spend the same amount of time watching 20 years of the Simpsons or Pokeman and the stories and lingo involved over the seasons. Knock yourself out.
