I wanted to learn about the topics
Python aficionado
August 11, 2021 by Robert (MZ, Poland)
“The word "pro" sounds catchy, but it really helps you become a better aficionado in laying out the logic of your programs and scripts. I wish I read that a couple of years ago. And in that - highly recommended!”
Company Choice
Amazing packages of books, early access, live books. Just perfect
For programmers just starting out developing code in Python.
August 13, 2020 by A Reviewer (US)
“This book will help programmers just starting out developing code in Python. It provides design techniques to streamline and refactor Python code.”
June 28, 2020 by A Reviewer (US)
“The book provides great perspective and practical approaches (eg separation of concerns) that I have incorporated already. Primary use R. Interestingly, because I was less able to code as I read along it forced me helped me to focus on the concepts.”
May 20, 2020 by BistABislBled (Nideresterraich, AT)
“Good choice even for beginners like me”
Company Choice
the book I want is not available on Amazon (any more, it was listed there as available, and at a lower price, some weeks ago)
Product Choice
was recommended by a python documentation page and I while browsing using your flip-through-book option some sentences and graphics seemed decent and intelligent enough to buy it.
