Get A Smarter Way To Learn Python: Learn It Faster. Remember It Longer. Compiled By Mark Myers Formatted As Paperback
Great book for beginners, Easy to understand each subject each paragraph, I highly recommend this book to anyone who starting out and needs details and explanations Excellent introduction to Python
Excellent book to introduce the reader to Python! The book employed lessons, each which built upon the prior lessons, using repetition as a method of making the reader learn the fundamentals of Python.
Good book. Some online content broken.
Good as a basic intro to the different commands and syntax, Some of the online exercises were glitchy, I liked it. Misleading title, quite to opposite this is a retarded way to learn Ptyhon,
And actually the book will teaches you nothing about programming or Python,
completly lack the big picture,
It teachs you how to memorize basic python commends in a hard way,
but you will be cluess why and when to use them.
. .
Don't except to be able to create something in Python after that book, except print something basic on the screen,
Excerise are dull and boring and repetitive,
and what's even worse you need make a break afterchapters with exercies becasue they will burn all your cognitive abilites.
It's better to start making projects and by doing/building something you will have to learn commends on the way, rather then memorize theory which you won't even know how to apply in real world projects.
There are some grammatical mistakes so I lowered my score tootherwise this is a must have book for
Python beginner programmers This is a wonderful book.
Though I've learnt python before, but the small chapters and segmented topics of this books help a lot to learn new things, in small chunks.
This is a great place to start learning the fundamental syntax of Python, Wish the concepts would come togheter after each large part of the book e, g. a "functions project" that includes previous chapter knowledge, A final project that includes all the syntax/chapters would be a great addition as well,
Overall great place to start your journey with Python, Great book for beginners
Small, way to digest chapters, Online quizzes after each chapter reinforce what you have learned definitely do those, Good book for beginners in Python, One omission is dealing with databases, Great stuff! Would recommend it to all beginners!
The book deals with basics, but for an absolute beginner such as myself, that's exactly what was needed.
The coding exercises were sometimes tedious, repetitive, and a bit boring, but that's not really the author's fault, That's what's needed to memorize proper syntax, no way around it,
I'm planning to read the books on HTML/CSS and JavaScript by the same author as soon as I'm able to, . . An excellent start for a totallynew coder, The book consists ofpage chapters presenting a bitesized topic, and coordinated online short exercises with immediate answers, What a great guide to learning, This handy book makes learning python super easy with very digestible chapters and great exercises that build on each other and establish a great base for coding knowledge.
Really pleased with this book, feel very confident about going on to work on projects with this solid foundation One of the Good book for the beginner.
I wasn't smart enough to learn a computer language like Pythonuntil I got smart about how to learn it,
I was smart enough to earn an honors degree in philosophy from Harvard, but an aptitude test told me to avoid computer programming.
I'm sure it was right, But then I designed a learning system for myself that quadrupled my aptitude for learning computer languages, It worked so well for me that I've used it to teach coding to grandmothers, cab drivers, musicians, and,other newbies,
"Mark Myers' method of getting what can be, . . difficult information into a format that makes it exponentially easier to consume, truly understand, and synthesize into realworld application is beyond anything I've encountered before.

Quadruple your learning ability,
Washington University research shows that a key teaching method I useinteractive recall practiceimproves learning performancepercent,
"I don't feel lost and I don't feel that I am forgetting things as I go along, " Amazon reviewer Leonie M. reviewing my second book, A Smarter Way to Learn HTML and CSS
Understanding is easy, Remembering is hard.
Computer languages are not inherently hard to understand, even for nontechies, Remembering is the problem, If you remember all of Chapterthrough Chapter, you'll understand Chapter, But you don't remember, Though you read and read, most of it doesn't stick, You don't have a solid foundation to build on, Halfway through the book, it all collapses, That's when most people give up,
"I've signed up to a few sites like Udemy, Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp, Lynda, YouTube videos, even searched on Coursera but nothing seemed to work for me.
This book takes onlyminutes each chapter and after that, you can exercise what you've just learned right away!" Amazon reviewer Constanza Morales reviewing my first book, A Smarter Way to Learn JavaScript
Interactive exercises make it stick.
Research shows that you will remember everything if you're repeatedly asked to recall it, That's the beauty of flash cards, But technology offers an even better way to make information stick, With my book you get almost a thousand interactive exercisesthey're free onlinethat embed the whole book in your memory, Algorithms check your work to make sure you know what you think you know, When you stumble, you do the exercise again, You keep trying until you know the chapter cold,
"Not only do the exercises make learning fun, they reinforce the material right away so it sinks in deeper, " Amazon reviewer Timothy B. Miller reviewing my second book, A Smarter Way to Learn HTML and CSS
You won't get bored or sleepy,
The exercises keep you engaged, give you extra practice where you're shaky, and prepare you for each next step, Every lesson is built on top of a solid foundation that you and I have carefully constructed, Each individual step is small, But all the little steps add up to real knowledgeknowledge that you retain,
I finally feel like I KNOW it and won't need to look up the syntax each time, . . " Amazon reviewer J. Caritas reviewing my third book, A Smarter Way to Learn jQuery
Really, it ain't that hard,
Extraordinary book for learning Python, Simple chapters tied into interactive practice quizes after every chapter make it excellent for learning, na Thank u Mark. .for you in me:
If you "looking for freedom":
Print"what a luck :" The author teaches Python in the most basic way that I have ever seen that even a noob with no programming background can understand the syntax and pick it up easily.
