What Others Say
Awesome set of Challenges
Some of the challenges may take only a few minutes to do, but what I've been doing is creating multiple ways of doing the same thing. Plus, I get to see what the Author's answer is. This book is a great way of working each day to write code to be better as a developer. I'm sure I'll be going through this book again once I'm finished. I look forward to seeing what new approaches I'll take as I learn more about Python
Best Way to Learn is to Practice
Working my way through the challenges for each day and enjoying it - and importantly learning. The book is not for absolute beginners, but once you know the basics after a few days, this acts as a great way to enhance skills. I have been rigorous in writing and testing my own code, before looking at the example answers. The example answers then show me quicker/better ways that I could have done it - though in a couple of instances I do like my versions better! Highly recommended if you want to learn or improve your Python skills.
Good Python Book for a Refresher
I learnt Python a few years ago, so I was looking for a book to help me refresh my knowledge. I love the challenges in this book. I have not done all of them yet, but so far, the challenges I have done are helping me relearn some Python fundamentals. Solving challenges is the best way to learn.
An Essential Test for any Python Learner
This book will challenge you to think things through. I found it as a good way to deepen my knowledge and start thinking for myself, instead of blindly following tutorials.
Perfect Match with Master Python Fundamentals
Match perfectly with Master Python Fundamentals (from the same Author). Its a great teacher and I am grateful that the author shares his knowledge.
