Python Programming For Beginners: The Ultimate Crash Course to Learn Python Coding Quickly and Easily | Step-by-Step Guide With Hands-on Exercises & Beginners Projects Paperback – 24 Sept. 2022

I used to be a C/C++ programmer, but haven't coded for over 20 years. Due to current work I had a need to understand and perhaps write a bit of python. Now considering myself a relative beginner I did a bit of research looking at free online courses and texts on the topic. This book got great reviews, so I decided to give it a go. I'm a bit disappointed.I'm not often bothered by the odd typo, but this books contains loads. For example: Wrong information given ('/' printed instead of '\'); missing figures are referenced, etc. If you are trying to learn something that is quite precise from scratch it's important to do it with accuracy.I would not recommend this book to anyone who has experience with another programming language (even from 20 years ago). If you don't have any experience at all then some of the examples and diagrams given are quite good and will help you understand basic programming concepts. I read through the book in just a few hours and really didn't learn anything other than Python has some quite powerful string operators (in the form of functions) built and a refresher on object oriented programming. Again, the last chapter has entire half page of code missing!if you are a complete novice to programming and you can find your way past the typos,, missing text, and the odd piece of misinformation, then you will find this book useful.It may be important to note I have the kindle version.

This is is full of errors, just flicking through it I've spotted problems with the typing or printing.The book is thin, real thin, printing is bad, layout is bad.£20 inc delivery for this is ridiculous. This book should be no more than £5 at best. I just feel robbed and should of looked into it better.The content in this is just like a copy and paste job from the official website. Sure you'll learn an introduction to python but nothing more. For a beginner go for a more established author than covers more of python in detail.

Started out ok, bit of history etc. then i started to doubt myself, when i was seeing typos. Meh.

Wow! Errors galore and cheap looking. This is not worth £20! Some bits are explained ok but it’s just confusing and I’m not sure I trust it to be honest.

Book is riddled with basic errors. Is 3 < 2 ?? What is a tuRple? Didn't anyone proof read it?

Many of the code samples just do not work.

This book has really valuable information, everything is well explained and shown in detail. You will learn a lot if you take your time to practice and understand what the book is trying to teach you

I cannot believe this book was published. There's a graph on page 17 (a graph) that literally says "stings" and "turple" I'm floored. I need my money back ASAP

Not much thought went into this book. There are a lot of info there, but no real structure to the way it is presented.
