Nice book for general python programming, but it’s not enough for those who want python for data science

Sehr umfangreiche Informationen. Teilweise sehr kleinschrittig, an anderen Stellen geht es rasanter zu.

Ich selbst bin mit dem Erklär-Konzept nicht ganz warm geworden, denn es werden auch eigens für das Buch erstellte Funktionen verwendet. Das hat bei mir als Anfängerin erstmal für Verwirrung gesorgt. Letztendlich habe ich Python durch viel Übung gelernt, nicht aus dem Buch.

O livro me ajudou no que eu precisava e foi bem eficiente, mas admito que o site do IME e o Django Girls me ajudaram mais…

I like the Java version better. Not a fan of author introducing his own defined functions into the discussion.
