What people are saying –
Nearly halfway through this book and so far I’m very impressed. I thought that using online video training would be the best way to learn python but I find the online videos seem to move too fast for beginners and you end up scratching your head at times. This book reminds me of the Karate Kid’s training of Wax on Wax off when it comes to learning python. I feel once I’ve finished this excellent book I’ll feel confident to move on to a more advanced Python course. Would highly recommend this book if you’re a complete novice like myself.
