I’m a beginner with Python. I really like using this book. Things are explained really nicely. I really like all the exercises and projects.

If you do not have any programming experience, this book is excellent in introducing you to Python, and you will have the feel for other programming language.

This is absolutely one of my favorite books. I’m a high school CIS programming instructor and I used this book all year. The students loved the projects using pygame. You will not regret buying this book!

I though it would be more extensive. It is very basic and the explanations are ok maybe if you have never seen python before.

I liked the format and structure of this book. The author did a great job explaining basic concepts while providing tips and examples of Python programming. I used this book as a self-study guide for my Python classes. Worked very well.

I love this book. As a Computer Science teacher, I am always looking for different approaches to help students learn the language. This is clear & concise. Starts at the basics but goes right through to more complex aspects. The explanations are easy to follow if you are a beginner with Python (although I would say some programing experience would help). I will use it to support my A level students, increasing their knowledge of the language-but starting from the basics for the less confident, to very advanced for the more confident. There is a good section on OO programing in Python & also one on Tkinter and pygame. Every section has example code & then tasks to complete and there are worked projects aswell. I know this will be a really useful resource.

Using this to support GCSE computing class. It is a very useful reference book for them. It also has a lot of handy practice tasks for each topic (selection, loops, etc.) I like to teach functions-first, and the tasks can be set as functions with minimal additional input from me. There are also projects and examples using tkinter and pygame which the kids love doing.

A brilliant, succinct introduction to Python programming fundamentals in clear, concise language supported by practical code examples to consolidate learning. Very good book for anyone interested in learning the basic building blocks of Python.
