Learn Python in One Day and Learn It Well (2nd Edition): Python for Beginners with Hands-on Project. The only book you need to start coding in Python ... (Learn Coding Fast with Hands-On Project) 2nd Edition

Great info presented thoughtfully.Thank you for your time writing this book.Amazon says I need four, three, two, one more words.

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 )

Presented in easy to learn bits. The examples you should work through all work and give you enough knowledge to get to some of the other parts of Python that aren't covered. Even Object Oriented Programming lessons are well understandable. It's even ok for an older brain.A good book to start with if you want to learn Python.

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. HIGHLY recommend for anyone who is starting/has little knowledge about Python. It wont make you be a 100% coding wizard but it will help you understand the language more and is a great starting point.

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 is better than some of the Python books that claim quick knowledge of a computer language. Python is a powerful language and any claims to learning it in one day is a stretch. This book teaches the reader how to manipulate "strings", make simple computations, display results to the screen and gives you the very very fundamental feel of the language. If this is your first computer language than this is a good book for you and that is what I believe the author was trying to accomplish. However, loading the Python language interpreter can be a challenge maybe even frustrating since the links the author asks the reader to use didn't work on any of the computers I tried. The IDLE that is required does not get loaded with the authors link. I had to resort to loading a PYTHON Compiler which allowed me to create code, save code and execute code. On a positive note this book is better for a very first coding reader than other Python books I have reviewed. It is unlikely you will truly learn the language in one day but in a week you may have a decent handle on the very very basics. Good coding!
