Python All-In-One For Dummies

For someone who is not a Python programmer, I had watched one tutorial on the internet and then decided to purchase this book. I like it and I'm filling in gaps from the overall tutorial I did. Not sure if I will be a great programmer by the end, but it's definitely getting me closer to understanding how to program in Python.

I like this books due to how easy to read it with a lot of examples to help me to understand since it is my first time so I would recommend this to all beginner

I like reading For Dummies books to get the broad picture before I do a deep dive. I need to do some Python at work now, and thought I would do a review with a For Dummies book. This is 7 books in one. It resparked my interest in playing with the raspberry pi. It reads smoothly despite the typos and I was going to let it go. But on page 139 it says putting code above the “continue” is optional. OK. But there is no “continue”, there is only a “break”. I’m only doing a refresher, so I know the two terms are related, but for someone trying to learn how to program, they are going to sit there thinking why can’t I understand this? I like reading computer books. I hereby volunteer to proofread the next version of this book for free if you won’t pay someone to do it well.

Good book for its intended purpose, but did not meet my needs. If your looking for a basic how-to book in the tradition sense, this book is not for you. If you want overall knowledge on being a data scientist or a career scope, this is your book.

A great beginners book for learning Python. This book explains the subject matter in an easy understandable manner.

Well written and clear -- better than the other introductory texts (and online courses) I've examined.

Great summary of python. Not really in depth but still well written.

This book has two authors and five editors. It is blatantly obvious that none of them actually read the book before publication. I made it through about 100 pages before getting too annoyed to continue. There is at least one error every 3-4 pages (probably actually closer to 2-3 pages). These include errors that are coding errors, along with sentences that are missing words, use obviously the wrong word, or just make no sense.When learning to program, the attention to detail is important since the program will do what you actually program it to do, not what you thought you programmed it to do. That attention to detail is obviously missing from everyone involved in this book. The editors should be fired since it is supposedly their job to catch the obvious grammatical errors. The authors should at a minimum be ashamed for pushing out such a shoddy effort. It seems clear that the only details any of the people involved in this were interested in is $$$$.So, use your money elsewhere if you want to learn Python.
