Review: Teaches you how to 'fish'! (er, not literally) - 6 month update at the bottom! But first, are you familiar with that ol' saying: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."? Well, this book, teaches you 'how to fish'! enough said? UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM: Buy the book, you will love it and learn so much from it. I've purchased other books to learn Python Programming, most other books simply give you the 'fish.' I don't want to spoil (no pun intended) things for you, but one thing I like about this book so far (among many things) is the CROSSWORD PUZZLES! You would not think they are all that, but I found myself memorizing the crossword puzzle words a lot faster than if they were given to me on a list! Highly recommend this book!!! UPDATES: 1. I am now at the end of Chapter 4 and just when I was about to finish the Chapter and reveal the Chart, I pressed SHIFT+ENTER as I was following the book line by line, then... NOTHING HAPPENED! At this point I got a little frustrated because I had to go back several pages to make sure I did not miss a step, then, I realized it was not my code... THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO THIS CHAPTER! Long story short, if you get to Page 211 and you don't see any charts pop up on a web browser, visit the book's github website and open chapter 4 folder, then open Charts.ipynb file, you can either compare your code (if you were following along) or simply copy & paste every single line of code as you see it in the github file. copy every code... up until and including the one below: webbrowser.open("file://" + os.path.realpath(chart)) The charts showed up for me after I copied all lines of code up until this code above. Now I can move on. Good Luck! UPDATE 2: So, today as I came back home from daily walk I had this hunch that I should go back and look at all the code notebooks I had so far and study how the relate to each other... as I was opening my files one by one, Cleared All Outputs, Restarted the Kernel and Ran All code again... Python came back with an error! (The asterisk and underbar are missing) Here is the fix, for Pg. 147: Swimmer, age, distance, stroke, times2, average, *_ = data times2 Still love the book even though I ran into a few snags, but that's a good thing, you are already learning how to troubleshoot... someone else's code! Stay motivated! UPDATE BELOW! Ok, so this is a six month update of using this fantastic-Amazing Book! So, you know those 'red squiggly thingys' that show under misspelled words? This progress update is for something that I came across on page 134 or when you are instructed to create a file called "Files.ipynb". Ok, so you create the file then you are instructed to type a command ( import swimclub )... so, when I did this, the squiggly thingy appeared under the word swimclub! And I was like "wait a minute, that should not be there!" So, I started back tracking checking all my code line by line and everything was fine, but squiggly thingy did not go away! Long story short... IGNORE THE SQUIGGLY LINE UNDER THE WORD swimclub, THE CODE STILL WORKS, KEEP ON GOING! Stay motivated!
Review: Great for those with some programming knowledge - I have been working on learning python for a few months already and this book a is a breath of fresh air. It’s great at explaining commonly used verbage that I still have problems understanding. Another great thing about it is that it works through a realistic scenario, similar to python crash course, where you build on code until it completes a decently complex task for a beginner. I feel like this has a better application for someone trying to automate tasks at work than python crash course. Definitely a must add for a working professional trying to gain some new skills in the workplace.
