Simple explanations and logical progression

I had my doubts about reading an audiobook on learning a programming language. Timothy Needham makes it fun, fast, and effective. The book paces well and the accompanying PDF makes it easy to follow along!

Excellent comprehensive introduction to python!

This is a perfect book for everyone. As you can see, there are a lot of different things that you are going to be able to do when you decide to work with the python coding language. A lot of examples were used to illustrate points being discussed e.g data types, python programming syntax, variables and operators etc.

Absolute beginners guide to learn python

This is a perfect book for everyone. As you can see, there are a lot of different things that you are going to be able to do when you decide to work with the python coding language. A lot of examples were used to illustrate points being discussed e.g data types, python programming syntax, variables and operators etc. Brief introduction to basic concepts in Python. Goes deep into advertising use of the language. Really, just a preview to the larger book. Not enough to become comfortable with the language or programming.

This is an excellent Python book to learn quickly

This is an excellent Python book to learn quickly. A thorough and deep dive in the Python language. Anyone who goes through this work seriously has not only the knowledge of the language but also the knowledge of the how and why of the language.

Excellent Book and Well Written

Very detailed information about python features. Python is easy to use, but not everyone can really use it.
I bought a Python Crushing Course and completed reading it in 1 Week. And I felt I still know nothing about Python except some functions. So I bought Mark Lutz's Book. After read 600+ pages, I am writing reviews right now.

THE python book

This is easily the best python-book for newcomers/intermediates I've come across. Recommend to everyone who wants a deeper knowledge than the regular intro-books. And written very well.

Actually great

The thing I loved best about python for fledglings were the coding models utilized. A depiction of the assignments are sketched out, at that point each progression of the code is appeared and explained.The last arranged code is then united toward the conclusion to enable you to see everything together.
