Python 3 Object-Oriented Programming

This book was a required textbook my course and learning python OOP. Its a fun read if you want to learn coding at the college level.

Mucha calidad y utilidad!

Per chi studia programmazione o ha intenzione di approcciarsi alla progettazione del software consiglio vivamente questo libro! L’inglese è fluente comprensibile e non troppo complesso nei vocaboli, gli argomenti sono ben strutturati e dimostrati tramite esempi o casi studio! Andamento leggero e simpatico l’autore ha reso determinati argomenti complessi comprensibili e semplificati

I am an experienced C++ programmer (computer vision industry) and I was looking for an object-oriented start into the Python ecosystem and this book exactly does that. Having done mostly C++, I was not sure if Python was the second language I should get experience with given that Python is known for being quick and dirty prototyping language, not suitable for writing scalable and performant software.I am half way through this book and my perspective has changed about the Python ecosystem. The author carefully explains the object-oriented features of the Python language while also explaining the complimentary power of "duck-typing". The author introduces base classes, interface classed, method overloading etc. He also introduces non-object oriented features of the language such as data-structures, strings, regex etc. The last few chapters are dedicated to common design patterns visible in the Python constructs.Overall, the book is pleasant to read for non-native English speakers with the main emphasis on the object-oriented aspects of the Python language rather than regurgitating python tips, tricks and shortcuts from web. I will highly recommend to developers who see learning a language as a marathon than as a sprint.

I already had the 2nd Ed copy - but I had given that to my lad who is studying computer science at Uni.I missed it so I bought another - this one is even better - it's all Python 3.8 so is less verbose, and to me, confusing.Really it's a good book to get after a very simple Learning Python book - like Easy Steps series.
