Narrated well, poor audio learning

In my opinion, you should not need to refer to a physical work document in order for an audio learning material to make sense. This fails to provide the listener with a mobile learning opportunity. A good story and lesson if you are able to cross reference the provided material, but lacking if you’d like to learn on the go such as myself. It is narrated well and has a decent story, I do not however, want to listen to you simply read off lines of code.

Begging for reviews every other chapter is annoying.

Since for the fourth time the author has asked to post a review I am doing so. It’s in poor taste to harass users to review an audiobook like this.

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.

Great book for beginner programmer

Good book to read for complete beginners, at the middle realized that by now I know how to read codes and write simple stuff. Would be great if the answers for the exercises could be included in the book too as I traveled to the country without internet and couldn’t verify if my results are correct! Other then that must have book if you are starting learning Python.

Excellent book for Python beginners!!

This book is a very effective way to get into Python programming, it's approachable, contains some interesting projects and can even act like a reference manual of sorts. Very good value.

Great book and the info is presented in an easy to follow format. It teaches you enough where you can experiment if you are creative and create different programs than what is expected in each lesson. Would recommend.

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.
