    Like having a tutor
  

*by B***W on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2024*

These head first books are so good. Its like having a personal tutor. Their method of teaching makes learning fun and easy. Head First is my go to series of book whenever I want to learn any kind of computer stuff.

    visually appealing layout; easier to read than most; has serious problem
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018*

This is an update, Sept. 12, 2018, from the review below, and, as stated in the earlier review, is based upon his response to my email. Please, note that I have increased my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars. First, the problem with the code was not the code. When opening IDLE through the latest download of Python, it was opening in 2.7, which the book specifically states not to use. Being a beginner, I did not notice this. Which brings me to the second, Eric's customer service was beyond expectation. He responded to my email in a very timely manner and stayed with me until everything was resolved. He was first to notice that the IDLE was operating in the old window.As a beginning coder, I cannot stress enough how appreciative I was of his fast, personal help.I am sticking with the latter parts of my review, though, because, so far, some knit-picky stuff in the early chapters still grab my attention. As I get farther into the book and notice improvements upon my that specific issue, I will update again.As of this writing, Sept 3, 2018, I am only giving this book a two-star rating, BECAUSE the very first big piece of code in which they guide you does not work. I downloaded the source code from their website; it, too, does not work. I sent them an email. Revisions will depend upon their response to my email and not this review. Also, another downgrade because it was about impossible to find ANY contact information. That, by the way, has become one of my first criteria when purchasing ANY computer book. No OBVIOUS contact information makes me suspicious.If said error did not exist, I would give this book a solid 4.5. It does fairly a decent job of breaking down the thought process of coding for the beginner, but it often fails to specifically explain what a certain thing is doing or how Python interprets the symbol or word.  The writers fall into the same trap all other writers for coding books fall into, they know so much that they do not realize what they are not saying. Of all of the books I have tried to study on the subject, this is still the best BY FAR. But it can still use some work. If you know something of computers, are resilient of mind, stout of heart and can take a few punches along the way. This book can teach you a lot. If you are scared of computers and see coding as something magical, DO NOT buy ANY book. Take a class.

    Outstanding, Fun Way to Learn Python and How to Think Computationally
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018*

This is an extraordinarily engaging book which I experienced as focused on developing critical computational thinking skills.  Python is used as the programming language to facilitate the exploration of computational thinking.  It is not a Python language reference manual and the introduction of the book is declarative in that respect.As with the other books in the Head First series, this book is written in a conversational and engaging style.  The subjects presented are scaffolded incredibly well and provide all of the guidance a beginner needs to develop confidence.  The exercises peppered along the learner's journey are fun and clever.  The examples are relevant and later chapters introduce Turtle, web services to plot the location of the International Space Station and Conway's Game of Life.  As the conversation develops in each chapter, the narrative unfolds and the characters invite the learner to participate directly in the solution.  I found myself looking forward to turning the page to see if my favorite character was going to appear next.I will be using the text as a primary foundation for a high school course.  It is well-suited for that purpose along with being very well-suited for an individual to pick up and learn independently at the pace of their choosing. This book is also a fun way to acquire Python when you already have some programming experience.
