This book will get you where you need to be to program like a pro." —Sandra Henry-Stocker, NetworkWorld"Eric Matthess Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition takes a well-regarded text for getting started with Python and brings it up to date for 2023. The book not only covers Pythons basics but lets you put them to use in a series of projects involving data analysis, web development, and gaming. Many books offer either Python basics or projects to learn from. This one delivers both." —Serdar Yegulalp, InfoWorld"Just looking at the fact that this is the 3rd Edition of Erics book, you likely realize that there is something special about this . . . Its amazing that he gets all of [this] into 500+ pages and at the same time its all understandable. . . . ……………"—Greg Walters, Full Circle MagazineReviews for the 2nd Edition:"With a patient and experienced pedagogical style, and a combination of thorough language instruction and plenty of illustrative sample code, Python Crash Course is a terrific way to begin learning computer programming in general and the Python language in particular."—Michael J. Ross, web developer and former Slashdot contributor"It has been interesting to see, over the last few years, No Starch Press, which produces this book, growing and producing future classics that should be alongside the more traditional OReilly Press programming books. Python Crash Course is one of those books."—Greg Laden, ScienceBlogs"All of these projects are well thought out and presented in such a way that learning the subject matter and implementing it is much more an enjoyable pastime rather than an onerous task that must be completed. Eric took the time to deal with some rather complex projects and lay them out in a consistent, logical and pleasant manner that draws the reader into the subject willingly, which unfortunately, many authors fail to do."—Full Circle Magazine"The book is well presented with good explanations of the code snippets. It works with you, one small step at a time, building more complex code, explaining whats going on all the way."—FlickThrough Reviews"Learning Python with Python Crash Course was an extremely positive experience! A great choice if youre new to Python."—Mikke Goes Coding"While Python Crash Course uses Python to teach you to code, it also teaches clean programming skills that apply to most other languages."—Great Lakes Geek"It does what it says on the tin, and it does it really well. If you want a crash course in Python, fear not!!! The Python Crash Course is an excellent book that provides a thorough introduction to Python that will have you writing programs and solving problems in no time!"—Technical YA, Best Books to Learn Python Language in 2021 Review Quote "Learning python is a smart investment of your time because the language is efficient and powerful.
