Top positive review

This book is excellent, but I can see why it got some skeptical reviews. Here’s the quick version: it’s amazing for what it is, maybe even perfect — but if it isn’t for you it REALLY won’t be for you.

First, you should know that this is a very basic book. It assumes no programming knowledge — and it doesn’t try to teach deep computer science principles or what’s going on under the hood.

Second, after going through this book, you will still be a beginner in Python. That’s not bad, but be aware that this is just a taster, not a comprehensive guide. And I mean not just really sophisticated concepts, but some things that are kind of basic to Python. I was surprised to see exceptions («try» and «catch») not covered, for example.

And third, this book takes a particular teaching approach, with a little intro text but where the learning is intended to be in the doing, with understanding coming from following the progression of challenges.

If you’re already familiar with programming but new to Python, try The Quick Python Book instead. (It’s excellent!). That’s also a good choice if you’re an intermediate Python programmer looking for the next level. (But if THIS book is all you’ve got under your belt, it might be a bit much still.)

If you want something that really explains as it goes on, with questions being «knowledge checks» at the end of chapters, this definitely isn’t for you.

But, if you’re new to programming, and interested in learning on your own, and get impatient with a lot of theory, this is the right book to start.

You don’t need to take my word for it! My high-school-age daughter has been vaguely interested in learning to code for a while, but I’ve never found a good way to teach her. Trying to share with ad-hoc lessons wasn’t working (too much «yes, there’s a great way to do what you are suggesting but I need to introduce five new concepts!» from me!). Other books were either too much text or too many assumptions — or just at the wrong level.

This one, though — I gave it to her and two days later she’s halfway done, proudly showing me her results, and asking good questions. Clearly, this clicked.

I just wish there were several more follow-up volumes covering the next steps!
