Формат: Книга Язык: Русский
Начинаю ловить себя на том, что ставлю 5-ть звезд очень неохотно. Видимо уже ожидаю что каждая книга на земле всего-лишь жалкая тень платоновской книги и поэтому не может быть 5-ть звезд.
Книга в целом хорошая, особенно если посчитать ее книгой для подготовки интервью на Python то отличная. Разобрано достаточно много особенностей языка, в хорошей и незагруженной без нужды манере.
Книгу сразу же перечитаю еще раз для закрепления материала.

Как всегда перевод названия подкачал. Книга скорее для опытных новичков, чем для профи.

Но написана отлично, советы прекрасные.

читал на русском, неплохая книжка, вначале очень понравилось, но затем стало много повторений и менее интересно. казалось, что автор устал писать в том же ключе и доделал "как мог"
