Python in easy steps

A super book for beginning programmers. I'm running a Python Bootcamp next week, and this book will be a great supplement to the online course.

The material is easy to follow along and makes it easier than the "for dummy" books.

This is a short text on Python for beginners. Very readable and well written. Not for pros, but a very good brief text if you are just starting out with Python.

I purchased several Python programming books, including the popular Head First book. However, for quick learning, this one is the best. There's compact explanations and simple examples of a topic and then they move on. On the other hand, the Head First Python book goes into great detail, discusses every nuance, and presents long examples for every topic. They both are very good but, for me, I would suggest starting with this book and getting a good overview of everything. Then, go to another book if you want more details.

This is a great book to learn Python. It takes a complex subject and makes it easy and fun. I wish I bought this book 20 years ago.

I bought this for my son, who’s English is his second language. I bought it due to the claim of being plain English, but it’s not. It isn’t written as simply as it could be.

I really enjoyed this basic intro to Python, the illustrations and examples were super helpful to understand the basics.
