Love this book so far, has a great flow and does not read like a textbook. Great examples and fun to follow along.

This is an excellent book for those looking to grasp the fundamentals of Python Programming. The book starts from the foundations and assumes only basic prior programming experience. There is plenty for more advanced pythonistas to get their hands on too.The book is organised into 15 logical chapters, starting with the more fundamental features of python and progressing to more advanced and higher level topics. I found the writing to be clear and easy to follow. The book is right up to date, making use of Python 3.9 and covers some of the latest things in Python like the Walrus operator and the FastAPI framework.As a mid-level developer I particularly enjoyed Chapters 9, 14 and 15. Chapter 9 covers Cryptography and Tokens and enhanced my understanding of JWT and authentication. Chapter 14 covers API development in the context of FastAPI and served as an excellent introduction to the FastAPI framework. Chapter 15 covers Packaging. Packaging in Python is a bit of a nightmare and the chapter goes into detail about the building, packaging and publishing process from start to finish.Overall, there is plenty to keep Python developers of all levels busy here. Beginners will derive a lot of value from reading through all the chapters, and those with more experience will most likely be interested in specific chapters and will find the book highly useful as a reference. Highly recommended.

This book is perfectly suitable for people wanting to explore or learn Python programming comprehensive. The book used the practical examples perfectly to teach the fundamental concepts involved in to learn Python.

This book is great! Not the most thorough but covers all the bases none the less. As the description states it is preferable to have some experience with computer science. I think anyone could pick up this book and learn SOME python. However, there are some parts that someone with no knowledge will likely struggle and will need outside support.
