Grab Hello! Python Curated By Anthony D. Briggs Accessible As Digital
a crap book. It moves too slow, but in between periods of slog, are highly complex bits of logic inserted in the middle of chapter two explaining the "wumpus" game.
I am too frustrated to even bother continue reading this, I really wanted to like this book, but feel like the normal "Here is an 'if', here is a 'loop' structure" may be better than this.
It tries too hard to be deliberate, but is utter disappointing and slow, I want to get up to speed with this language more briskly than this, I made it to pagebefore I threw it away, Definitely not a beginner's book, Maybe it is written by an expert and reviewed by experts, but you won't learn python by using this book, I have already studied the freely availabe "Python for Informatics Exploring Information" sitelinkwww, pyinf. com, which I can recommend,
"Hello! Python" looked good and introduces a lot of new concepts, but doesn't explain them, It's mouth watering even, but for learning how to use those concepts, I will have to find another book, This book reduces the learning process to correctly copying the sample code, but you won't learn Python, I think this is good to teach you best practices of programming, but I don't think it can teach you python if it is your first language.
