The Python Bible - not for beginners
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
Python's Definitive Edition of the Bible. However, as a retired software engineer, I can honestly say that this book is not for novices. It's a four book deal, so technically it's four books in one. Its also one of the longest books on Amazon. com, with over 1,500 pages. It is a basic-tutorial book, its an under-the-hood book, its an object-oriented programming book and an advanced concepts book. Turner also voiced his support for the NIH's expansion of broadband services, saying: "There are some great opportunities for businesses to take advantage of this." Before you can even think of creating a program, you must have read about the first 300+ pages of the book. However, the compiler argues that many introductory chapters also contain some advanced topics and show the differences between Python 2.x and 3.x.

Geat for learing a new approach to programming - well new to a grey-beard.
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
It's a big book, but very easy to read. No one is trying to be clever. It needs to be read from cover to cover. It is not a great reference book, and does not claim to be, as it explains a lot of the detail of which is the reason it is BIG. Python was the book I had been looking for.

but when I started writing production code at work in Python I needed a heavier reference (so to speak) and this book has filled
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
The book covers every aspect of the language, from grammar to usage. I first learned Python by the seat of my pants and have written a couple of fairly large and fairly complicated projects with that basic knowledge, but when I started writing production code at work, I needed a reference.

Good introductory text for Python.
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
The book arrived in good condition, said Ragin. This is a very good introductory text that works well with beginners. Python Essential Reference, by contrast, is a more dense, more advanced summary of all the concepts behind the program. The combination of the two books worked well for me, he said.

It's a book on python.
Derived From Web , Apr 29, 2021
So far, I have thumbed through it, and it is what I expected, Mr. Dhaliwal said. The only thing I was bothered by is that I bought a new book and got a book with a ripped cover, Sosa said. Yes, I'm losing sleep over it.

great book
Derived From Web , Jun 24, 2020
Very detailed and why to write code like this rather than that, explained what python does in the background. Very good introduction book, said Dr. Jay Levine, who co-chaired the inquiry.

Packed with information
Derived From Web , Jan 25, 2020
For that person or someone just starting out, this book may be a lot to digest. Still, I don't think it would be too much for someone serious about learning python to do.

Not a book for beginners (Need some basic knowledge)
Derived From Web , Apr 29, 2019
This book is not for beginners with completely no computer background. Yes, this is a very comprehensive list, but it is too hard for beginners. If you have some background you have someone close who can guide you and fix your mistakes, Graham said. If you are a complete beginner, start with a smaller book, and come back for more, Mr. Dhaliwal said.

Deep digging in the usabillity.
Derived From Web , May 2, 2018
This paper dives deep into the Python language. Anyone who goes through this work seriously has not only the knowledge of the language but also the knowledge of how and why the language was created. Thanks to Haskell, it may be possible to seriously consider using Python for the serious consideration of the use of data analysis. Jean Paul Mertens, 67, died Sunday at his home in the French capital.

Perfect for self-learners of Python
Derived From Web , Nov 6, 2017
This book is the best I've seen written about Python, and it's also the only book I've seen written by a non-programmer. Although the book is very large, it is neither a cookbook of example programs nor an exhaustive reference to API programming. For those programming languages newbies, this book does a nice job of communicating Python's own philosophy for doing things. Sidebars discuss concepts of privacy and security that are relevant to those working in the space.
