Introduction to Programming Using Python

I am happy I bought this printed book. The electronic book (which I also purchased for a college class) has some nice features, but some of the layout in the online e-book is disorganized and difficult to interpret. The e-book publishers need to go back and compare a printed copy with what they are offering students online. They don't match exactly. I wish this book was printed on standard 8.5" x 11" paper and that the type was bigger. I bought the looseleaf version and put it in a standard 3-ring binder, where it's fine, but the picky side of me wants it to fit into a binder like "normal" paper. Also, the type is too small for me. Sometimes I'd have to stack two pairs of reading glasses on my nose to read the text. Overall, super happy I bought the printed book!

If you are new to python this book may not be the right book. However, if you have some experiences I would recommend it. It had tons of practice questions. Also, you can find the solutions for even numbers and on the their website.

I think this book is perfect for beginners. One of the reasons I liked this book very much is that is has a lot of exercises of varying difficulty (40 to 50+ exercises for each chapter). Among the books I have for python, this one is the best. I am trying to learn by myself and now I realize that I was unable to learn much from other books is that they don't have adequate exercises for a self learner like me. I would highly recommend this book to people who are trying to learn python as their first programming language. I gave this book four stars instead of five is because of its overpricing. In my opinion this book shouldn't cost about 100 bucks. The reason I feel the book is overpriced is because the author put all the exercises he wrote for his Java book, here. Other than that I'm fully satisfied with this book.

First few chapters are ok but ultimately, this is a horrendous book for beginners with overly complicated examples and a complete lack of answers that SHOULD BE IN THE BOOK. The website companion site is completely useless and kludgy and you have to pay for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This is a perfect example of why more women and girls don't code....because it is written by men like this that make it impossible to learn it. The learning examples are needlessly convoluted and complicated and have little to do with the exercises. F-

Still working my way through this for class, but I've found that things are explained well enough that the class itself is just a good review of the text book.It's easy to understand, and the exercises and examples used are great for getting a grasp on the Python language.

Even though the seller said the condition was used, good, i received it as nearly new, with no damage at all to the book. In addition, i like how the seller left a handwriting appreciation at the end of the label! 10/10

This is one of the best books of python that I read so far.Everything is cover so well and it is really money worth.it give you an access code for videos and they are as good as the book.I strongly recommended so I also by the java book and is as good as this one

Got an A in the class I was taking greatly attribute that to this book...it was better than the school issue book
