Python For Beginners: Learn Python In 5 Days With Step-by-Step Guidance And Hands-On Exercises (Python Programming, Python Crash Course, Programming For Beginners) (Coding Made Easy Book)

This is an introductory text on the python language intended to be read one chapter a day. The treatment has more depth than many similar books and it also some programming and testing methodologies.

Great book for beginners.

I liked the exercises, as well as the explanation of basic concepts. This books does what is required for me to get to grips with Python language.

In my opinion, this has to be one of the easiest to understand sources of teaching to learn the absolute basics of python. It definitely has helped me get through my Intro to programming class. In addition, the price is not bad and affordable which is really good considering most other good textbooks on Python out there are at least 30$ bucks.

This is no beginner's book. Although useful, if you are just starting out in Python, look somewhere different.

I chose the book to teach my kids and I found it with very clear explanations and easy to read .the examples and curiosities from python helps to make the reading more fun

As an experienced coder but a complete novice using Python, this book did everything I hoped it would. It supplemented my current knowledge of coding by introducing the Python equivalent. All examples were clear and easy to understand.

** The next paragraph has been updated in the light of new information**I found the book to be very poor. I note that many other reviewers have given it 5 stars. I was very surprised at this. I then checked out a number of these reviewers. I will merely note that of those that I checked out, they had given very many reviews; and all their reviews were 5 stars. I found this strange. I have tried to give the book a fair view, and I just cannot see why so many reviewers would apparently think this book was worth 5 stars.The book takes you through some basic coding and some of the techniques - unfortunately in a fairly amateurish way. It teaches you some coding but not what I would call programming.The examples are very basic and use very simplistic examples and were not imaginative. For example, many of the lists were just [1,2,3,4] - no attempt even to vary the contents of the lists.There are no diagrams - it is all purely typed text - poorly presented for a modern book. It reminds me of how coding might have been taught 30 years ago.There are some hyperlinks in there (not many) - but you are not given the actual url in the printed version (just an underlined text, not the url).I did not feel that the author showed sufficient understanding of the basics of teaching.The hard cover shows children; yet I think that they would be turned off by this book.Overall - not a very professional approach. It was of some limited use, but overall very poor.

Good book easy to understand for beginners

Unbelievably poor layout. No logic or structure. Tries to cover even complex features in a few pages. Exercises do not line up with what has just been shown. This is poorest review I have ever given any book.
