Python Basics: A Practical Introduction to Python 3: 9781775093329: Computer Science Books @ desertcart.com

Review: Learn Python3 easily! - This book is an excellent introduction to the Python language. The basics are covered, there are links to on-line resources, and there are links to on-line quizzes. Now in its fourth edition, the authors have the experience to transmit information so that the reader can absorb it readily. Beginners can learn the main points of Python3 while more experienced programmers can review and gain insight into the details of the language.
Review: very comprehensive and easy to follow along. - I'm trying to learn programming after 20yrs, and 2 failed attempts. Went to college as a kid to major in IT, took C++ and C# courses but ended up flunking out. Now with life getting more expensive I figured it's time to try for a better career and maybe achieve an old dream. I've tried free online website, apps, and even a game but nothing really stuck with me until this book. I can honestly say this has been the best experience learning to program. The book is written in clear easy to understand language, provided numerous examples to try for yourself, and builds on what it covers. I often find myself looking up the solutions to each sections' challenges not to see the answer, but to understand what I did differently to accomplish the same goal. That alone has shown me way to improve my budding skills. I should note that the book often refers you to their online resource site (the solutions are all online for example), so having Internet access is a must!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Python Basics: A Practical Intro to Python 3 is good
*by B***N on August 8, 2021*

While still reading the book and performing the exercises is good practice, I feel that the book is a good example of a practical introduction. Python 3 is a great programming language to learn, and the book has a fairly sufficient foundation for learning the language. Prior experience with Python 3 is not necessary, but understanding how a programming language works is a good primer to learn Python 3 and the book is structured like a timely exercise and practice format. Each topic is followed by a series of practical exercises, and doing these exercises helps with the knowledge gained. Some aspects of the language are covered that may be glossed over in a general explanation, but the book is patient with these aspects. Overall, I recommend this book for someone who wants to learn Python 3 in a few months (about two months on a continuous basis; otherwise, three to four months average for the whole book).
