The book starts off taking things really easy and slow and looks promising as a primer for those new to Python. Unfortunately, as with many technical books, as it progresses it begins hitting on topics in a less verbose manner and fails to explain certain key concepts and terms.
This book also takes one through the basic grammar/syntax of the language but not much more. You won't find anything relating to the use of databases, for example.
Still, it is an exceptionally quick read. Has a lot of potential, hope author releases an updated edition.
