Python for Beginners: 2 Books in 1: The Perfect Beginner's Guide to Learning How to Program with Python with a Crash Course + Workbook

I will admit I was a Perl snob and thought Python was for beginners. Fast forward and now we see Python being used in AI, Machine Learning and more general areas. The reward for snobbery is to have to play catch up.This book as the title says is a beginner’s book. And I do mean it is for a beginner who has never scripted in-depth if at all.You will learn the basics of programming with the book. It is a “no frills” simplified approach to learning the basics of programing with Python.So, you can measure what is offered; these are the chapters:• The First Impression• Installing Python• Learning Python from Scratch• Introduction to Statements and Loops• Operators – The Types and Their Uses• Lists, Tuples and Dictionaries• Functions• Classes and Exception Handling• Inheritance, Modules, and Packages• Next stepsAs you can see the basics. If you are an active scripter; you may find this book a waste of your time as it is writing for a beginner and does things like double spacing for an easier read.You will not find many advanced things like system administrator or web functions.If you have not seriously scripted in a while and or want a simple introduction to Python, this book could help.There is a workbook which is part of the book. The questions and lessons are ok. The final project is the writing a classical hangman game. You get the answers and example code for the chapters. The final project is for you to do and is intended for you to explore and improve on the game.I only used this book as I found I was not paying attention to a more detail book. I was “I already know this” on many things. This just helped clear the head and prepared me for a more advanced book.

This was a solid introduction to python. If you have coded before all the concepts will be familiar, but even if you’re new to programming I think you’ll be able to follow this book. It’s a light friendly read that baby steps you through all the core principles of programming.The first half covers all the basics: variables, operators, loops, and functions, etc. The second half of the book asks questions and set challenges, which I found really helpful. I found a couple of typos and some formatting issues with the ebook (indents!), but nothing I couldn’t workaround.

This book is definitely a beginners book on understanding programming and learning how to use it. This book breaks everything down so that u can learn at your own pace While also showing how to starting downloading the python system and using. Which I am currently in the process of learn. So far I have downloaded the app now I just learned more about the python programming system on my computer.

This book is a step by step guide to programming . The author really breaks it down. Just needs an internet and an computer. It has workbooks to help you learn. I found this book is broken down in simple terms. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn.

This author is awesome. He provides an interesting background on how Python came about, how widely it is being used today, and why it is the language of the future, and then shows the reader how to download a free program that the reader can use to write their Python programs in. He then gives the reader a realistic assessment of how long it will take them to learn python, and become a master programmer, by saying that this book is just an introduction, and that the reader will need to continue learning after going thru this book by finding time to study Python every day, and going thru some more advanced books. And then gives some advise on how to do that, by cutting down on the amount of time they are spending playing games, or cutting down on some other things they usually do to find time to study. The examples he provides in the book work, except for an occasional one that he throws in as a learning project to show the reader how to fix errors that they receive while coding. The only problem we found with this book is that the code does not have indents in it like it should be in a coding window, leaving the reader to have to figure that out with the help of their coding program.

I am very pleased with the quality of the content in this book. First time programmers will get a lot of value. I was a programmer for an aerospace company in the dark ages (1976-1986) so for me it is a really quick read and it does cover all of the elements of the Python language quite well. The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is the quality of the binding. About every 10th page is not connected to the spine. It makes for a sloppy volume and the risk of losing pages.

This is a great choice if you're interested in learning the basics of python coding.This is a great course for beginners!

Very disappointing book. The format of the book, the font size, the double spacing, and the incorrect indentation make this book a waste of money. This book may be suited for children, but not for adults or any IT professionals. Big mistake.

Muy pobres explicaciones y mal traducido
