My mind is like oatmeal because a newbie programmer cannot learn a robust general-purpose language such as Python in ten days. Still, I enjoyed the book and know x as much about Python as I did two weeks ago. Sep 14, Rui rated it really liked it. I used this book as a quick review before getting back to work with Python. I'm not a developer so most of the time i just ready-to-import packages. This book provides interesting explanations to many little stuff that I'm used to using but never got to see the reasoning behind it.

For example, he gave quite detailed and well-designed exercises about context manager and decorator. I do appreciate topics like these. Overall, the topic selection is a little hard to understand as the author basical I used this book as a quick review before getting back to work with Python. Overall, the topic selection is a little hard to understand as the author basically abruptly stopped at list comprehension.

But it is a good book for someone who has some experience and looks for deeper CS logic. Jul 08, Vio Stix rated it it was ok. I stopped halfway through. It elaborated way too much on things that seemed unnecessary but did the opposite with more complex things.

It continued with the same lines of code throughout the chapters, that changed slightly with new stuff, which can be easier to understand for people but for me it was extremely boring and unchallenging.

Some links weren't working, so that should definitely be updated. However there were some informative things in there that most books don't include, which is the I stopped halfway through. However there were some informative things in there that most books don't include, which is the only reason it got 2 stars instead of one. IMO, the Head First series is great for learning languages. But the book does give you a pretty good context and grounding in the basics - from data structures, the context management protocol, list comprehensions, and even generators.

The icing was the appendix on deploying to the cloud using pythonanywhere. Enjoyed the book overall. Terrible presentation. No one wanting to become a professional programmer should touch this. The authors think they are some sort of graphic design geniuses and they say so , but it's an uncoordinated mess. Other graphics-oriented titles Visual QuickStart, Manga Guides, etc pull this off, but not these people.

Do not waste your time or money. Apr 19, Carlos rated it really liked it. A great starting point to learn Python. It assumes some previous experience programming, but at the end it will provider the reader with some proficiency with the language. As usual with the Head First series, it is written in a fun and comprehensible manner that makes you progress through the chapters without even noticing it.

Highly recommendable. Excellent book. I undoubtedly recommend to read it. It would be awesome if this has more about object oriented programming. This proved to be quite efficient and enjoyable. The examples are clear and the exercises are challenging but not daunting. Easy to read and to follow. I feel like I can quickly write something useful in Python for home or office. Don't skip the appendices though - there's so much out there!
