let me try to explain why this 1600 page book may actually end up saving you a lot of time and making you a better Python progra I know a 1600 page book seems almost crazy but, before you start looking elsewhere (as I did) for something shorter, let me try to explain why this 1600 page book may actually end up saving you a lot of time and making you a better Python programmer in the end.First of all, I’ve read many of the other well reviewed, up-to-date, Python books (yes, all of them were shorter), and being new to Python, I ended up spending most of my time searching online trying to fill in the gaps that the other authors failed to fill in. With this book you don’t need to reference anything else because the author does a great job of answering every question. You can tell he’s dedicated his life to teaching Python and knows what problems his readers will run into.While this books is long, it doesn’t feel long. It’s not just page after page of code samples. Each concept comes with a few code samples and is followed up by very well-written, clear explanations so it’s actually a fairly…
The Python Bible – not for beginners The Definitive Python Bible. However, as a retired software engineer I can honestly say that this book is NOT for novices. It’s really four books in one. Its also 1500+ pages long ! Its a basic-tutorial book, its an “under-the-hood” book, its an Object Oriented Programming Book and an”advanced concepts” book. All in one. My biggest gripe is that you need to read about the first 300+ pages in order to have enough information to be able to write your first “real” program. This is primarily due to the fact that many introductory chapters also contain some advanced topics and show the differences between Python 2.x and 3.x.
Best Python book for a beginner OK. I’m a true beginner; seriously. I’m 35 yo English teacher who can easily create a WordPress site, or a Moodle course. Other than that, I know nothing of programming. HTML and CSS is easy. But all I know is copy-pasting code from CSS generators. Sure something has stick about CSS and HTML, but nothing about programming. I was terrified to even try.Until I met Python.It was love at first sight the moment I saw its syntax. It was like reading English. I felt like New in the Matrix. So I started watching tutorials on YouTube, taking courses on Udemy, and Lynda.com, but none of them provided insightful information about the ins and outs of Python; you know, like ‘the devil’s in the details’ kind of stuff. (Sure there are some programmers who create video tutorials on YouTube but they cover only small parts of Python programming in depth and many of them left me wanting more.That’s until I decided to google ‘Best Python books’.I found many…
