Praises for the First Edition

"If you're looking at learning Python then look no further, this book is what you need!"
~ John S (Amazon UK reader)

"Got me up and running with the basic concepts very fast. Would really recommend."
~ Daniel Barry (Amazon UK reader)

"Very nice partner guide to learn Python with.
Meant for beginners, obviously, but tips and tricks for more advanced users.
This book and 2 hours a night helped me get a job with minor programming."
~ joshua wallace (Amazon US reader)

"Excellent book for learning Python. It covers everything you expect from a beginners book (input/output, if and while, error handling, reading external files etc) in a direct and clear way so you don't have to waste time reading stuff you don't need."
~ Katie A. (Amazon US reader)

"I've been frustrated with other Python books that are too detailed and have like 10 chapters on data types before getting into any code. This book was fun to read, clear as day in its explanations, and will give you supreme confidence in writing code."
~ B. Martin (Amazon US reader)

"I would highly recommend to anyone who is a beginner to computer programming. I have read other confusing programming text but this book was well organized and understandable."
~ casandra (Amazon US reader)

    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Good: Book is a very good and well organized way to get started with python. Well written and easily understood.
    Bad: Kindle for Windows, gets worse with every implimentation. Issues are quite simply bad window sizing logic that forces you to constantly readjust the size of your viewing page and window. Does not auto size to the view screen properly on a tablet when you drag the bar to the top of the screen, with the top control bar the page the close, collapse and full screen icons are off the screeen to the right, even though there is plenty of space for them - just bad coding.. Once you manually adjust the screen size, if you choose to view the notes or table of contents, it then resets the screen width to the overfill the screen again. When you close these side panels, it doesn't restore the application width to what you previously spent a minuit or two setting it to properly fill the screen. And worst of all, it automatically reduces the with of the reading pane by about an inch on each size, so you have to manually increase it to full width again. This would be tolerable if it was only used to read short stories (like comic book length), but is a complete waste of time when one is employing a reference book.

    Final Grade: Book- A+++, Kindle - F---------------------... (you get the idea )

    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    If you want to learn to code, don't hesitate and pick this book up now. Not only is the book well written, Python, the language the book is written about, is one of the most simple programming languages in the world. Being simple doesn't exactly make it weak either. Python is an incredibly powerful language. PCBs such as Rasberry Pi uses Python as its programming language. The book explains things well enough that they can be understood. However, older concepts are not rementioned, so taking notes is almost a necessity if you want to clearly read this book, which can be a little bit of a hassle. Some of the things you learn are:
    Values
    Operators
    Variables
    Formatting Strings
    Type Casting
    Lists and Tuples
    Dictionaries
    Interactive Programs
    Special Characters
    Condition Statements
    If Statements
    Loops
    Functions
    Modules
    External Files
    Classes
    Objects
    Properties
    Name Mangling
    Self
    Child Classes & Objects: The Concept of Inheritance
    Built-In Python Functions for Objects.
    All of these are written clearly enough. I don't understand what others mean by "not for beginners". The concept of coding is quite complex. Unlike Scratch, we don't get a list of a syntax whose names tell us what they do. Explaining coding easily is a very difficult task. Somebody said that there were better Python coding books out there. There are plenty of people that would say that these "better books" are worse than this book. Don't just read it like a normal book. You will not know how to code because you read this book once. Think about it. If you simply read over a textbook like a novel, you would not have memorized the concepts and diagrams. This book is not built to be read like a novel. Some people say that it was difficult, but I have not seen many problems with this book.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Though quick and dirty on covering how to program in Python it gets you started immediately on a basic game after a few lessons on syntax and commands.
    This doesn’t mean you’ve learn Python after reading and doing the exercises in this book. It’s an ice breaker… a stepping stone to read other more structured books on the subject. Every one starts somewhere and this is a good starting point.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I have gone through a lot of books targeted toward those interested in learning Python. This, in my opinion, is definitely one of the better sources for getting started and becoming a moderate Coder. Jamie Chan does an excellent job of introducing Python to the complete novice. He uses good examples and a well-constructed explanation when introducing new topics. He carries on into intermediate Python programming with the perspective and insight that I have not found elsewhere. He has a good introduction to advanced concepts but when it comes to advanced concepts, you could read 1000 books and probably come up with 1000 new ways of accomplishing your task.

    The only problem I have with this book is the title, “Learn Python in one day and Learn It Well.” There may be a few of you out there who could learn Python and learn it well in one day but I am definitely not one of them. You never stop learning any programming language that is still active and Python is not an exception. In one day, you will get your feet wet but you will not have climbed the mountain.

    This is a good book exceptionally appropriate for beginners and I will and have recommended it to others.

    This book did a really good job ad breaking down the parts of programming and even had a project in the end that let you dip your toes into OOP. Its a really quick read and very concise.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic quick guide, ideal for people who already know how to program and need the essentials.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a terrific book and great value for money.

    I'll keep it short and to the point - if you have programming experience and want to get into Python coding, then this is the way to do it. It talks you through the essential stuff and in around one day you'll be up and running with the basic knowledge from which you can learn further, by doing.

    What it WON'T do is teach you how to code - you need to already understand the basics and have experience in something else, even something like shell scripting. It also won't teach you the really advanced and esoteric things that you can do - this is about how to quickly get into writing Python code and works great for that. Once you have started, you can learn by doing. Python is very intuitive.

    I was sceptical that this (a) was any good at the price and (b) would actually be useful. In fact, it has proven to be exactly what I needed and at an amazingly low price to boot.

    Can't ask for anything more than that, get this if you are someone with some coding experience wanting to use Python for the first time. It really will get you going quickly and tells you what you need to know.
