Clear, organized, and effective introduction to programming
Exceptional introduction to programming and specifically the Python language. The two-page lessons, using color, is an effective pedagogical approach. Also, the summaries at the end of each chapter are helpful.I purchased this book just to have an idea of what programming is, and learned a lot.The beauty of the text is that it works for a youngster or a graduate student. After just completing all the lessons, I enthusiastically recommend this purchase.

Decent book for beginner programmers
Good and helpful book for beginners at programming. I’ve been using this with my son and I think the illustrations and clearly marked steps are helpful. However, I did find a couple errors, so shame on the editor who didn’t go through these exercises first. Still, I like the pacing, the material and the overall scope of the text.

Learner-friendly!
Clear examples opposite each page of text, so very helpful AND the textbook examples reflect the exact colors of the IDLE to match their usage as keywords, string variable,etc.

This book was ok. It didn’t explain a lot …
This book was ok. It didn’t explain a lot of basics that it needed to about IDLE and its relationship to the terminal. However, it definitely helped to get me started.

It’s nicely laid out and colourful.Suffers from two flaws, common to the series and many coding books:(a) It relies too heavily on example over explanation. I find this happens a lot. You think “I’ll learn Django” then look on the django site. It gives you an example: “do this, type this here, type that there and hey presto, you have a project that does something…next step: read through the jargon-heavy technical documentation”. A book this short is always going to find it difficult to explain concepts but the title does suggest that is what it’s for.(b) A little less serious but annoying all the same: it’s in American. Why can’t they just publish books in England in English like they used to?
