I said this on Twitter directly to Zed, but it bears mentioning here. This is a sweet introduction to both programming and Python. I started playing with Python a couple weeks ago and wrote a few small applications. One of my pythonista friends looked over my code and noted that I could have used string formatting instead of concatenating everything. None of the books and tutorials I'd skimmed mentioned the print formatting but this book explained it perfectly. Best of all, its succinct.
I'm sure there will be a ton of new exercises added to the book, and more topics to come, but this is a great start. Thanks Zed!
- zedshaw 16y agoGlad it's working for you. As I work on the book, let me know if any exercise isn't making sense. Many times if that's happening there's something you're missing I need to include.
- elblanco 16y agoI'll be getting some free time in about 3 weeks and have been interested in picking up my python education again (after a very long hiatus). I've written some non-toy language tools in it and was impressed with the language, but the existing books I was learning from were too hard to keep referring back to and I've long since forgotten even basic syntax. I'm following this book with a great deal of interest and plan on working through it completely. I'll let you know if I get any hangups.
