Summary
Python for Everybody is designed to introduce students to programming and software development through the lens of exploring data。 You can think of the Python programming language as your tool to solve data problems that are beyond the capability of a spreadsheet。Python is an easy to use and easy to learn programming language that is freely available on Macintosh， Windows， or Linux computers。 So once you learn Python you can use it for the rest of your career without needing to purchase any software。This book uses the Python 3 language。 The earlier Python 2 version of this book is titled "Python for Informatics: Exploring Information"。There are free downloadable electronic copies of this book in various formats and supporting materials for the book at www。py4e。com。 The course materials are available to you under a Creative Commons License so you can adapt them to teach your own Python course。

Not what I was expecting。 As an old guy， learning a new language is tough， but doable。 Figuring out how to get my laptop to do it is the tough part。

I liked Charles Severance's MOOC on Coursera more than the book。 He's a fantastic cool prof who makes you learn stuff while having a lot of fun！ I'm more of a hands-on-project person & that's why I can't give more than 3 stars to the book。 But I'd give him & his course 100/100 stars！ :） I liked Charles Severance's MOOC on Coursera more than the book。 He's a fantastic cool prof who makes you learn stuff while having a lot of fun！ I'm more of a hands-on-project person & that's why I can't give more than 3 stars to the book。 But I'd give him & his course 100/100 stars！ :） 。。。more

Python textbook as good as you can get， a book that I am sure I will constantly consult。Clear， precise with useful exercises。There are no sudden jumps in complexity thus allowing the reader to follow along very easily。The book is more focus on data mining and data analysis rather than more complex stuff， but it teaches the basics in an extraordinary way。It introduces Object-Oriented Programming OOP， Databases and a bit of SQL， and of course the basic stuff such as iterations， dictionaries， funct Python textbook as good as you can get， a book that I am sure I will constantly consult。Clear， precise with useful exercises。There are no sudden jumps in complexity thus allowing the reader to follow along very easily。The book is more focus on data mining and data analysis rather than more complex stuff， but it teaches the basics in an extraordinary way。It introduces Object-Oriented Programming OOP， Databases and a bit of SQL， and of course the basic stuff such as iterations， dictionaries， functions and so on。Masterpiece。 。。。more

Brilliant book if you´re giving your first steps in Python （there's also plenty of more advanced material in the book）。 The book is easy to follow， with hundreds of coding to read and it really takes you by the hand to become a beginner-intermediate user of Python。 A special word of appreciation to Charles for making this book completely free of charges （very rare thing to happen in these days of savage capitalism）。 I highly recommend this book as well the 13h video available on Youtube （again， Brilliant book if you´re giving your first steps in Python （there's also plenty of more advanced material in the book）。 The book is easy to follow， with hundreds of coding to read and it really takes you by the hand to become a beginner-intermediate user of Python。 A special word of appreciation to Charles for making this book completely free of charges （very rare thing to happen in these days of savage capitalism）。 I highly recommend this book as well the 13h video available on Youtube （again， free of adverts！！） 。。。more

I downloaded this copy of book because it's reference book for Python for Everyone Coursera。 I got sponsorship from Malaysian Digital Economy for the Coursera course on November 2020。 Dr。 Chuck lectures are very interesting and I can make it to final week of first course。 However I couldn't completed the course before 2020 ended and my Coursera sponsorship。 So， I decided skimming the other part of book that i didn't read before。 Maybe I'll watch Dr Chuck videos on Youtube if I got time。 I downloaded this copy of book because it's reference book for Python for Everyone Coursera。 I got sponsorship from Malaysian Digital Economy for the Coursera course on November 2020。 Dr。 Chuck lectures are very interesting and I can make it to final week of first course。 However I couldn't completed the course before 2020 ended and my Coursera sponsorship。 So， I decided skimming the other part of book that i didn't read before。 Maybe I'll watch Dr Chuck videos on Youtube if I got time。 。。。more

I am using this book （FOR FREE！） through the Trinket。io IDE。 I am using it with their free python 2。0 which limits some of the later chapters from being implemented。 I find it impossible to learn code without the environment with which its teaching， and this book is great for that from Chapters 1-8。 After ch。8， it very quickly presumes a level of comprehension for syntax that abandons new coders。 I found myself seeking more Python documentation to understand some of the elements they were using I am using this book （FOR FREE！） through the Trinket。io IDE。 I am using it with their free python 2。0 which limits some of the later chapters from being implemented。 I find it impossible to learn code without the environment with which its teaching， and this book is great for that from Chapters 1-8。 After ch。8， it very quickly presumes a level of comprehension for syntax that abandons new coders。 I found myself seeking more Python documentation to understand some of the elements they were using for understanding and the explanations seemed to gloss over details or not offer as much clarity。 As far as setting out to concisely cover Data exploration in Python， it does a fantastic job， but as a new user， I think seeing more examples for string methods， tables， and basic looping would be helpful to build upon。 In the trinket version， clickbacks to previous chapter locations when referencing debugging or skills would also be immensely helpful。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 The book was really easy to follow and gave examples that I could copy into a script and run。 The topics were presented really clearly and I really enjoyed working on the end of chapter exercises。

I picked this book because it was far cheaper than any alternative。 I learned a lot， though I stopped half-way through because the focus， data mining， was not my interest。 For the early chapters， and ideas， this was fine。 "Dr。 Chuck" as he calls himself presented the information well and enjoyably。 There were homework problems too， and programs at an appropriate level with enough frustration but not too much， so I did the problems （this is important， otherwise you don't learn the subject）。 It he I picked this book because it was far cheaper than any alternative。 I learned a lot， though I stopped half-way through because the focus， data mining， was not my interest。 For the early chapters， and ideas， this was fine。 "Dr。 Chuck" as he calls himself presented the information well and enjoyably。 There were homework problems too， and programs at an appropriate level with enough frustration but not too much， so I did the problems （this is important， otherwise you don't learn the subject）。 It helped a lot that I read it along with the video-course presentation in Coursera （also low-cost）。 The problem， for me was the focus on data mining and analysis。 I want to use Python for science and engineering， and there was little or nothing here to help。 I could figure out some basics， but knew that I will likely want to use one of the packages， numpy， or something like it， and there was nowhere near enough in that direction， even as an appendix or side-bar。 。。。more

Excellent book for a beginner with no programming experience at all。 There is the companion web-site and 13hrs Youtube video。

I read the python2 version of the book in 2013 and it was incredible when I started learning Python。 The python3 version is nonetheless amazing for all sorts of people if they are starting to learn Python or programming in general。

Tough Book on KindleI had difficulties trying to follow along on the Kindle and using my laptop。 The words were too small for me and I had to squint。 Maybe if I had bought this in hard copy it would have gone better。 It seemed to me this book is more intermediate than beginner。

کتاب اطلاعات مفید خوبی برای شروع داره。 خیلی از مفاهیم ابتدایی پایتون رو کوتاه توضیح داده و مثال زده。 من به عنوان مرور، کنار دوره ای که می دیدم از این کتاب استفاده میکردم که خب بد نبود。 تهش هم یه سری زده به جاده خاکی و اومده پروژه هایی که شاید تو حوزه وب کاربرد داشته باشن رو توضیح داده که کاربردی واسه من نداشت اما شاید در آینده بهش برگردم。

Excellent book。 I read the book while taking the related online classes。 The book provide a good review of the basics。 I was a little disappointed in the level of detail that JSON and SQLite was covered but it was sufficient to get me started。

Excellent book that taught me the essentials of Python and back-end programming。 A long way to go before I have mastery of the language， but this was a great starter book。

I just finished reading the book。 A good practical introduction to Python & great companion and resource for the Coursera Python courses （1+2+3+4+5）。 The author and instructor is a master， making it easy to learn basic programming principles and Python。

Great！Together with p4e website and Coursera lectures taught me a lot of Python。 I started as a complete noob and finished with a working program that created a nice visualization for my needs。

This is a great book for absolute beginners in programming。 Concepts are explained in very easy terms， and there are some simple exercises that can be done for comprehension。 I used this book as a companion for the 'Python for Everybody' specialization in Coursera。 Do note， however， that the book is extremely light on Computer Science and many times touches things with quite a bit of superficiality。 Anybody who's programmed a bit will find this well structured by lacking depth。 This is a great book for absolute beginners in programming。 Concepts are explained in very easy terms， and there are some simple exercises that can be done for comprehension。 I used this book as a companion for the 'Python for Everybody' specialization in Coursera。 Do note， however， that the book is extremely light on Computer Science and many times touches things with quite a bit of superficiality。 Anybody who's programmed a bit will find this well structured by lacking depth。 。。。more

My favorite book to learn PythonThe author uses simple， but very powerful examples to teach you how to program applications for your normal activities。 This book uses Python 3。You will enjoy learning how to program。

Dr。 Severance （aka dr chuck） has made a tremendous contribution to the software engineering （geek:>）） community！The quality of his material （book and lectures） is outstanding: stimulating， didactical， entertaining and relevant。His book and classes are available free！ It does not get any better than that！

A very good book and set of videos either through Coursera or the author’s own site at py4e。com， where you can do the exercises without paying Coursera。 Explains the basics and concepts well， but falls short in prompting with good practice projects， which you can often solve by modifying the code discussed in the chapter rather than having to apply it in a novel way， which I think would help more with learning。That said， I used this with another source that was more “sink or swim，” and the grasp A very good book and set of videos either through Coursera or the author’s own site at py4e。com， where you can do the exercises without paying Coursera。 Explains the basics and concepts well， but falls short in prompting with good practice projects， which you can often solve by modifying the code discussed in the chapter rather than having to apply it in a novel way， which I think would help more with learning。That said， I used this with another source that was more “sink or swim，” and the grasp of the fundamentals I got from Dr。 Chuck in this book and course was essential for actually using programming to solve other problems。 。。。more

Good base， but then moves fastWish I would have programmed along。 But overall was happy with the basic understanding of the interplay between data and programming described here。 I need a case to work on and then I will be ready to dig in。
