## Description

The world's best-selling guide to Python programming, this fast-paced book teaches you the basics, then lets you build projects and applications to reinforce your skills.

Review: Must buy for those learning python - Absolutely loved this book. I’m going back to University to study computer science and the main language used in the course is Python. This book from beginning to end explains how to load python on your device, including installing code editors to make programming more intuitive and all the troubleshooting involved. This was great because it didn’t just start straight at learning Python itself, but also preparing you for all the snags you may hit on your device and setting you up nicely. Using examples, the book gives examples of different coding structures and concepts, before giving you practice questions to have a go at. Near the end of the book, you’ll also have the opportunity to build some projects using concepts you’ve been learning which utilises libraries found commonly in a professional setting such as Django and Matplotlib, all of which are explained clearly as well. After finishing the book, I feel a lot more comfortable with Python and feel I have a great foundation to build upon. The Author (Eric Matthes) also seems to be pretty active online, so any particular knicks you come across I’m sure he’ll be responsive. Overall, I can’t think of a better place to start learning python. A must buy in my opinion.
Review: The best book on Python - I brought it despite it being rather expensive as all the reviews here and on YouTube recommend it as the best. They are right to do this. I brought some other books first and almost gave up before I started the right book really does make a difference here. It's small manageable sections that are clearly explained that tell you all you need to know as a beginner so you don't get bogged down with rare use cases but still have all the info you need. The exercises are small that even if you don't have much time or attention you can still managed a project easily and learn a concept thought actuall use. and most of the examples are useful you can see where they could be applied in real life and not so oversimplified as to become almost meaningless as I have seen before.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the "free" online tutorials
*by S***S on 29 September 2025*

As others have said it is so much easier to follow this book then youtube tutorials. It is very clear and easy to follow along. I like how the author provides different ways to right the code, to achieve the same thing. I would highly recommend!
