Head First Python 2e

Product Information

When I was going through the introductory part of the book, I was a bit worried as it stated that a bit of knowledge in programming is expected, but it turned out not to be the case. I understand the importance of it and why it needs a thorough elucidation but I got utterly bored when they kept explaining the same thing in different ways. Paul already has two textbooks to his name, and is also a Contributing Editor to Linux Journal magazine. Not bad otherwise, I like the way it uses petition and practice to really teach the ideas, not just explain them. With this book, you'll learn Python through a multisensory experience that engages your mind—rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

Head First Python is a complete learning experience for Python that helps you learn the language through a unique method that goes beyond syntax and how-to manuals, helping you understand how to be a great Python programmer. So if your main motive to learn Python is Data Science (like me), then I recommend you not to touch this book for your own good.With this book, you'll learn Python through a multisensory experience that engages your mind-rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. I read it in three evenings and sometimes things where explained that shouldn't be explained to someone who already knows how to program in another programming language. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. If you're intrigued by what you can do with context managers, decorators, comprehensions, and generators, it's all here.

Do you believe a Python book should cover everything and if it bores the reader to tears in the process then so much the better? If you’re intrigued by what you can do with context managers, decorators, comprehensions, and generators, it’s all here. I understand the need to let the code crash in some cases but from a semantic standpoint the solution to the exercise is wrong. Good for novices looking to get a web page up and running quickly though and is simple enough not to confuse beginning programmers.

His role as a third level educator affords him the opportunity to explore, learn and teach the very latest programming technologies and practices, which is something that he enjoys even though he knows this makes him a bonafide "geek". Es un libro que se podría emplear en una clase de pedagogía para evidenciar cómo lograr la aplicación de los principios descubiertos en las investigaciones psicopedagógicas sobre el aprendizaje de temas complejos. So in my opinion, this book is perfect for anyone who's new to Python, or in my case, who's new to programming altogether. With Head First Python, you'll quickly grasp Python's fundamentals, working with the built-in data structures and functions.
