Praises for the First Edition

"If you're looking at learning Python then look no further, this book is what you need!"
~ John S (Amazon UK reader)

"Got me up and running with the basic concepts very fast. Would really recommend."
~ Daniel Barry (Amazon UK reader)

"Very nice partner guide to learn Python with.
Meant for beginners, obviously, but tips and tricks for more advanced users.
This book and 2 hours a night helped me get a job with minor programming."
~ joshua wallace (Amazon US reader)

"Excellent book for learning Python. It covers everything you expect from a beginners book (input/output, if and while, error handling, reading external files etc) in a direct and clear way so you don't have to waste time reading stuff you don't need."
~ Katie A. (Amazon US reader)

"I've been frustrated with other Python books that are too detailed and have like 10 chapters on data types before getting into any code. This book was fun to read, clear as day in its explanations, and will give you supreme confidence in writing code."
~ B. Martin (Amazon US reader)

"I would highly recommend to anyone who is a beginner to computer programming. I have read other confusing programming text but this book was well organized and understandable."
~ casandra (Amazon US reader)

OK, but not a Beginner's guide.

I'll say it is a good book, but only for programmers who need to switch from another platform.
If you are a novice to coding and want to start with Python (a great language and gateway to everything in the realm of computers) I'd suggest other publishing.

There are thousands of youtube threads that will teach You what is in here for free.

Supposed to be for beginners but didn’t seem like it. I’m not a dumb person by any means but have little coding experience beyond some very rudimentary flash and html. This was over my head and thus useless.

Decent Program, fatal flaws

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is riddled with Typos in the code examples. Missing parenthesis, syntax errors which prevent the code from executing properly, switching variable names on the fly. It's a mess. 2 stars because if you can manage to get past that it's actually pretty good. But if you have a choice at the outset, go with something else. It's not worth wading through all that stuff cause someone was too lazy to proofread

A good starter book

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Good: Book is a very good and well organized way to get started with python. Well written and easily understood.
Bad: Kindle for Windows, gets worse with every implimentation. Issues are quite simply bad window sizing logic that forces you to constantly readjust the size of your viewing page and window. Does not auto size to the view screen properly on a tablet when you drag the bar to the top of the screen, with the top control bar the page the close, collapse and full screen icons are off the screeen to the right, even though there is plenty of space for them - just bad coding.. Once you manually adjust the screen size, if you choose to view the notes or table of contents, it then resets the screen width to the overfill the screen again. When you close these side panels, it doesn't restore the application width to what you previously spent a minuit or two setting it to properly fill the screen. And worst of all, it automatically reduces the with of the reading pane by about an inch on each size, so you have to manually increase it to full width again. This would be tolerable if it was only used to read short stories (like comic book length), but is a complete waste of time when one is employing a reference book.

Final Grade: Book- A+++, Kindle - F---------------------... (you get the idea )

Although it will probably take more than one day this is a very good beginner's book due to complete examples and not rushing the subject. Watch for typos but easily fixed and not a serious problem.

Kindle version, GREAT PRICE THAT WAY! These kind of books are usually $25-100

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019

Excellently written. Starts out extremely easy for newbie like me, but obviously goes into very complex topics by the end. I love the way it is written. Although it covers the topics quite thoroughly, carefully and simply for the beginner, it feels as though it moves along at a most desirable pace. It seems to stay interesting, despite a relatively dry subject and I have not ever felt as though I want to stop reading because I am too bored or can't stay inspired and motived to learn more. I highly recommend it!

Awesome book and it teaches you like it said it would.. It is great fun.

Great book for beginners like me. I did so programming many years ago using basic for the pc. I also wrote simple programs using Commodore v20, c64, Amiga 1000, basic programming for those computers.

I want to write a few programs for personal use, using python, like a database, inventory, home budget, and games. I want to write my own text adventure, like zork. One of the other things I like is, python is a cross platform language. I mean it will run on pc, apple, etc. without having to change any of the code.
If you take your time to read and to enter in python example code, you will be writing code period. Type in the examples so you will understand how it all works. The title of the book says.It all. You read do the examples you to will be ready to program in a sho

Covers Python well and has very good explanation. He goes through every sample code line by line and explains what it doing and why. He really knows his subject and knows how to explain it to the non initiated. In my case it was especially his explanation what classes are an how to write and instantiate them with great examples and explanations.

A Bit Too Basic For Anybody With Programming Experience

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Not worth buying for anybody with any programming experience, it's more of a very basic guide to beginning programming using Python syntax. My own benchmark for any programming book is how confident would I be writing something "useful" from scratch after reading the book? In this case not very. Saying that it is well written and if this is going to be your first step in to programming with any language and you have a particular interest in Python then it's a good book to start with.

Has similarities to Basic. Recommended.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2019

To me who knows nothing about Python, and had never heard of it until my DT teacher daughter mentioned it in conversation about an Arduino project, it appears to be very good.

I managed to read several pages, which I understood, before my daughter snaffled it. She will return it I’m sure, but she says it’s excellent.

I keep buying things only to have her ‘borrow’ them. I’ll be deducting them from her inheritance soon at this rate.

The books contain a lot of useful information about Python, but...
It explains really advanced topics such as classes, inheritance and so on without mentioning some fundamental concepts such as 'None', use of 'is' vs '==', etc.

Simply the best beginners Python book I have used. To the point, with smart examples that really make you "get it". Rich in topics, with nice projects at the end of the book to exercise your new Python skills. Just buy it, if possible the hard copy, as it's a very useful reference to use to refresh your memory.

I have used many programming languages and programming concepts are not new to me so this quick easy to read guide to python was perfect to show how to use the Python 3.x syntax, what it means and some of the tricks and shortcuts you can use. It's not an exhaustive guide but after only a couple hours going through the first 9 chapters I feel confident I can ready python code. No weird syntax will leave me confused now. Great book highly recommend.

Good book to start with! Fast readers could probably read this in a day, but if you want to actually sink in, it mostly likely will take longer.
It doesn't explain everything in python, but it explains the fundamentals very well!
You will most likely need another, more advanced book, but definelty recommend this book!

useful summary for moving from another language to Python

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2020

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Obviously, you cannot learn Python in one day. But this book covers enough of the basics to help you write useful code quickly, provided that you already know another language. It is concise. It is not an introduction to programming.

It is my third Python book. The first was far too comprehensive. The second was probably a superb first year university course book but not suitable for rapid progress. “Python in one day” was “just right”. However, I will be keeping only the other two books for reference. The value of “Python in one day” is that it gets you started quickly.

Doesn’t do what it says on the tin

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Anybody reading a book such as this will be starting with a clean slate. As such, the author should have spent some time discussing configuring the Python IDE’s (only IDLE mentioned), the Python environment, virtual envelopes and a bit about pip. For what was covered, I felt it lacked insufficient detail to walk away with a functional- albeit basic- working knowledge. And 11% of the book is in the appendices. Certainly not pointless by any means, but neither did I feel it delivered on the promise of its’ title. 3 stars
