Great way to begin learning Python
I have found this to be an great way to start learning Python. I have the 1st addition in paperback but it was not unto date with Python 3. As I started working through the ePub 2nd Edition many of the limitations with working with old self study references points of confusion when working in Python 3 have been removed. This book has been a great clarifier of the programming fundamentals and of Eric’s skill and clarity in presenting that knowledge. I am looking forward to my progress developing a usable knowledge of Python.
