    The explains every concept in Python well in very concise way. For example, in chapter 14, the class and inheritance is explained very clearly. I bought a few Python books. So far it is the best one.
    I also recommend this author's class "Python for Everybody" on Coursera.
    Well worth the price! Highly recommended this book to every learner in Python.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Just what it says on the tin
    Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book is a textbook case (hah!) of truth in advertising. It’s directed at people who are interested in using Python as a tool primarily for data analysis, rather than people who are interested in learning Python for more general programming purposes. Is it effective? Yes and no. The early parts of the book are quite instructive, covering the basics of Python’s built-in types and syntax, and building to greater complexity. At some point, though, the bottom suddenly falls out. The difficulty ramps up tremendously, and the book largely devolves into massive code dumps, or links to massive code dumps, with most of the discussion focused on how to make use of the programs rather than how to develop similar programs for your own purposes. I have a feeling that in a classroom setting, with supplemental materials and a good teacher, this is likely less of an issue.

    All in all, it’s a fine book, and well-targeted. I really appreciated the section on regular expressions, which is a topic most introductory programming texts don’t even mention, and the database interactions are another oft-neglected area that had some good, basic information. I think it would benefit from a bit more dissection of the later programs, but for the price I can’t really complain. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.

    5.0 out of 5 stars you won't get lost in all the technical asides and theoretical maelstroms so many datascience Python texts seem to love to spin
    Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The simplest and clearest explanations out of nearly a dozen introductory python texts I have collected. Artfully crafted instructional progression with by far the most relevant and amusing analogies and example cases. It is interesting to note that this is basically the third formal edition of a constantly improving open-source resource that was initially restructured and reworked by a very gifted teacher to teach data analysis and data mining; if you have tried to work through Think Python you should be able to recognize the refinement resulting from the writer's having used previous editions of this text to teach tens of thousands of students. I keep going back to this book as a reference as well. It really does contain the concisest explanations, and I am recognizing more and more that the code blocks and larger processing methods he describes are paragons of industry approaches. Starting here will make your life so much simpler and your learning immediately so much more productive: you won't get lost in all the technical asides and theoretical maelstroms so many datascience Python texts seem to love to spin into and through. (I have also found the text to be a very helpful foundation for integrating all the open source videos and resources the author put together while teaching his classes through Coursera [and the University of Michigan]).

    I'm only 9 pages in but I love this book. I have a degree in Industrial Engineering and certification in 8-12 Math Education. I have a passion for the human machine interface and making the complicated simple. I'm blown away by this book. This would be exactly how I would write a book on programming if I knew enough about programming. So thankful for this author and that this book was on our syllabus for my python class.

    A must have manual for anyone that wants to create applications but has no experience writing code. Python is great tool for developing your ideas into working applications and this book is perfect for learning how to do just that without becoming tedious and boring. This isn't a book you just read, it's a book you form a partnership with that will allow anyone to successfully write applications while understanding how it all works. You may even find yourself having fun using the terminal window in your computer. Another nice benefit to buying this book is that along with getting the actual book you also get the Kindle version with it.

    Reviewed in Italy on August 17, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Mi mancava il Python come linguaggio di programmazione.
    Il libro spiega in maniera molto semplice le regole della programmazione in python. E' chiaro che se si dispone di un background di algoritmi e strutture dati o di gestione database, sarà più semplice applicare queste nuove nozioni a ciò che già si conosce. E comunque anche in mancanza di queste nozioni, il libro spiega in modo molto efficace come fare delle semplici query in sql, ricavare dati da internet in formato xml o json per rappresentarli in altro modo.
    Ho trovato molto semplice il modo di spiegare le espressioni regolari, argomento sempre un po' ostico negli altri linguaggi.
