About
This book is a short, introductory guide for the Python programming language. This book is well suited:
- As a reference material for Python beginner workshops
- If you have prior experience with another programming language
- If you want a complement resource after reading a Python basics book, watching a video course, etc
There are several exercises provided throughout the book, which will help test your understanding of Python syntax and logical skills.
Prerequisites
You should be already familiar with basic programming concepts. If you are new to programming, check out my comprehensive curated list on Python to get started.
You are also expected to get comfortable with reading manuals, searching online, visiting external links provided for further reading, tinkering with the illustrated examples, asking for help when you are stuck and so on. In other words, be proactive and curious instead of just consuming the content passively.
Testimonials
It's very thorough, written with care, and presented in a way that makes sense. Even as an intermediate Python programmer, I found use in this book. — feedback by Andrew Healey on an early draft mentioned in this Hacker News thread
