A good beginning introduction to programming with Python.
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.

Good Intro to Python and Programming
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.

A good starter book for young people
Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He is just now learning to build his own computers which is enjoying very much. This book was recommended by my brother who is a computer tech. My grandson is 14 and understood the book very well

This book is very helpful to
This book is amazing. I inclined such colossal amounts of viable things from this book. I love this book. I genuinely value scrutinizing this book. I would recommend this book to anybody. Whatever, on account of writer and must, suggested for this book.

Great book for someone who has never programmed. Fast read for someone who has.
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.

Too wordy
This book is ok. There's a lot of unnecessary dialogue that made me lose interest.

The right guide for beginners
I bought this book because I was looking for a text that would teach me enough to get me familiar with Python and then start programming. The choice was good and I found it to be a good book with good projects, it gave me a good introduction to the language and all the basic aspects a programmer needs are present. Simple and intuitive writing, I found it very useful.

Python for Beginners
this book best explains how to start practicing and practicing one of the most used programming languages: in fact, I bought it for work. This book is a useful manual for beginners because it explains this new world step by step and teaches you how to use it. the language is clear and helps you understand the concepts well. I advise.
