    Just finished the first chapter this book and it is the best book I have ever seen written about coding. I have no coding experience and so far everytime I try and getting into any coding language, almost every single book I have picked up or bought has left me feeling cold and a little bit dissapointed.

    This book explaines everything using real world analogies, does not use very flowery langauge that makes you feel like a chimpanzee after reading it. I feel like I learned a more in the first chaper of this book then I ever have in the first year and half trying to look at python. It just felt like trying to get into an elite club.

    This has been a very good tool for learning about python. I originally found this due to starting a course on Coursera it was a suggested book. I found it useful for learning.

    I will say the videos work in tandem with the book.

    I am pleased with it. The videos can be found on Amazon prime.

    Good book, very helpful for starting out. You will not become a master programmer, but you will learn some things. The greatest advice is you have to apply your knowledge to a challenge - and have a deadline. That is what helped me in university.

    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.
