Learn Python Quickly is a new (and exceptionally handily accomplished) beginner's guide to Python by a well-accomplished master in the field. Learn Python Quickly takes a fresh, well-paced approach to provide a fast route to getting up to speed with Python. Combined with superb examples, a bright and articulate writing style and hands-on instruction, this guide will bring anyone up to speed quickly in this ever-popular programming language.
Learn Python Quickly could not be more well structured. Building along the right steps with gradually increasing difficulty both in practice and in theory, one can veritably feel the awareness sinking in as you grow in confidence. Interspersed examples substantiate the description and cement the understanding. Thankfully leaving installation and configuration to the well-proliferated online space, LPQ avoids dealing with any specific environment. It provides just enough guidance to illuminate and then to direct to the proper sources for more in-depth investigation. This is especially true as you move into more advanced concepts where it becomes clear that only so much can be accomplished in a 'quick start' guide. However, the author seeks to at least introduce and provide context, so you gain awareness and are pointed in the right direction for progressing further down that path. The reader comes away knowing both what he or she has an awareness of, as well as why one would want to know more and where to go to find out. This is a strong and proper approach. This is particularly well demonstrated in giving pointers to a variety of 'Useful Libraries'. Rather than going down a variety of rabbit holes (that evolve too fast to stay current) or causing the guide to fall into limited applicability to a narrow sector of practice. This guide remains broad Python-based and incents the user to find their own direction based on their growing awareness.
Learn Python Quickly has one of the best capsule explanations (through concrete demonstration) of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that I have encountered. Exceptionally well articulated and delivered.
The examples mentioned provide an excellent opportunity for short play. Sessions and structure break the 'lessons' into easily digestible nuggets that help you to know that you are moving along and also able to retain the aspects of the immediate study. Build, step, build.
The volume is up to date as one can be in this ever-changing world and programming environment. This is reflected in the pointers more information as well as catching the ever-changing trends in the Python space.
The final section of the guide puts the learning to work and cements the lessons with a series of hands-on applied projects. The project reinforces the value of having learned the various concepts taught. This follows an excellent teaching practice. It further demonstrates why I would highly recommend this book and recommend it for use by any of my own students in their Python pursuits.
Learn Python Quickly just the right length, just the right pace and structured in a way that you can step away and come back and make the progression fit your own specific learning style and needs. It does exactly what it says on the tin and does it with aplomb.
This guide is applicable and useful for both beginners to programming, as well as experienced programmers who need a quick transition guide to Python.
This review is based on an advanced Review copy provided in exchange for an honest review.

A very valuable learning skillset for all of us!

‘Code Quickly’ appears to be a new author on the front lines of IT and this initial book by that author shows tremendous promise! The book is designed for beginners, so for starters, here are some definitions for the uninitiated: IT – Information Technology, Python – according to Wikipedia, ‘Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.’

In the Introductory comments, the author shares: ‘Python is an excellent language to learn for both first-time programmers and expert programmers who are looking to expand their existing skillset. Python’s intuitive syntax makes it easy to use and learn, so it’s a good language for first-time programmers to pick up. Despite this, Python is also flexible and extremely powerful, making it well-suited for advanced programmers as well. In fact, Python is used for everything, from mobile app development to DevOps to machine learning and artificial intelligence. Learning Python will dramatically increase the types of jobs you’ll be able to apply for and be successful in. This is a part of the reason I’m so passionate about helping others learn Python. It gives you access to all kinds of new techniques and tools that can improve your life in a variety of ways… Python is a fantastic language to learn, and this book will help you go from zero knowledge of Python to a skilled Python programmer. It will provide you with the knowledge you need to start creating your own Python projects and applications successfully. This book won’t be all you’ll need to become a Python master; you’ll also need to spend a reasonable amount of time exploring and developing code with Python by yourself. You’ll also need discipline, and you’ll need to know where to find further Python resources. However, this book will give you the fundamentals necessary to start working with the more advanced Python concepts. You’ll be set on the path to becoming a true and effective Python developer, and you’ll be able to start exploring on your own, map in hand.’

With that degree of supportive direction, this book helps us master Working with Python in both the command line and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Variables and operators, Python data types, Python data structures, Handling inputs and outputs, Getting user inputs, Conditional/control flow statements, Error handling, Functions, parameters, and scope, Built-in function, Creating modules, Object-oriented, programming, Reading and writing files, Recursion, Image handling and more.

Spend time with this book and learning Python becomes accessible. A very fine solid contribution to contemporary communication

Definitely start with this book if you are working through the three books in the series and especially if you are new or relatively new to programming. This is book one of three and there is a reason for that. I started with the book on C# and although I could follow what the author was saying, if I had had this book under my belt it would have made reading that book so much easier.

In Learn Python Quickly, the author takes the reader through the various aspect of learning Python. He is very systematic in his approach and explains each step in enough detail, so the reader understands what is going on but not in such depth as to lose the reader. CodeQuickly has done a marvelous job of keeping the reader engaged with the material while not overwhelming them.

As I said, the author’s approach has been very intuitive step by step. At each new juncture the author helps the readers understand how what has gone on before fits into the scheme of Python. Then at the end concludes the book with two practical projects which the reader can implement in order to gain “hands on” experience with Python.

As with any new material the author admits that this book is only scratching the surface and that any serious programmer will need to hone their skills through practice and research. But the foundational building blocks are found in this book which will allow the reader to move forward with confidence.

Upon request the publisher sent me a copy of the book to review.

Okay, we're at another "guide" to help better understand programming. To many people, this is a complete turnoff because they're worried that it's too complicated. Sure, you're sitting there reading these reviews wondering if it's worth the time and resources to read this guide. The answer is ABSOLUTELY! If I had this book in college, I would've probably cried for joy that it wasn't as difficult as the professor made it out to be. However, we can't all be so fortunate. However, YOU ARE FORTUNATE!!

If you're a novice, this book starts at the beginning and fills in important details about how Python came into existence and essentially, what's the purpose of needing Python and why it's important to how we do things digitally. Believe me, you'll be amazed.

Is this easy to follow? Absolutely for novices! If you're more familiar with it, consider this a refresher. Who can forget classes and loops? Oh! You don't know what I'm talking about? Well, read the guide. You'll thank me for it later. Or not! The choice is yours on whether you want to learn such an important programming languages. If you're annoyed with C++, try Python instead. Short and simple is the way to go for those new to programming.

What are you waiting? Jump in! You'll be glad you did! I received an ARC via Booksprout and leaving review!

I recently started to learn R and was told by others that Python was very similar and used in some of the same way, so I decided to pick this book up to assist.

I found this book to be well organized and very helpful as a learning tool, starting from basic concepts and building from their. Some of the introductory material is very basic for experienced programmers, so you can always skip those sections, but at the same time, each language handles syntax and variables differently, so the material is there if you need it. Overall, I found this to be an excellent reference and I am happy to add it to my technical library.

Highly recommended
