A great manual to just hand out to beginners, students, people who need to get some readable Python-starter material.

It starts out with the 'how to install', 'how to switch on', 'how to save work' and 'how to run' advice and then proceeds to the more fleshed out stuff. Lovely, huh?

The explanations of how all the stuff is supposed to work and hang together are pretty much ingeniuos and rarely met in similar manuals.

However basic, this is precisely the book to give to someone who wants to know more and hasn't got yet too much experience with Python.

Great basic reference guide for common error messages. Other guides are just “create create create!” but this covers the more realistic scenarios of “wtf did I just do it’s not working” 😂

Naming conventions! This part is underrated.

Um ótimo livro, para conhecer mais sobre Python tanto pra quem esta ainda está aprendendo, ou que já consegue se virar mais ainda tem muita coisa pra aprender ou que não sabe(como eu).

O livro tinha muitas partes que eu já sabia, como um livro básico, mas o interessante é pegar essas partes e aprofundar e perceber os detalhes da linguagem, e descobrir partes que você não sabia, ou deixou passar despercebido.

If you want to understand or start programming, even simple scripting, but have no knowledge, this is the book to start with.

Great if you are just starting with Python. This book provides a solid base. If you are more experienced, you maybe better offer referencing a more advanced book

I read this book while on a backseat driving through grand canyon. (I've been there too many times) Its simple and beneficial. I learned a few things despite thinking I was already 'intermediate'

A not-too-long, good introduction to Python. I was struggling finding a book that would

Used it as an afternoon refresher after a couple month's hiatus. Quite useful in this way.
