Addison Wesley Learn Python 3 the Hard Way: A Very Simple Introduction to the Terrifyingly Beautiful World of Computers and Code

A concepção do author em colocar linhas de códigos que você ao repetí-las vai num crescendo de dificuldades que tornam o aprendizado efetivo.

Throughout this textbook Zed Shaw takes a very methodical way of explaining python programming. This textbook is the first of the authors two books on python 3.This textbook contains 52 exercises of python scripts. There are accompanying lectures for each.To get the accompanying lectures, you first must register this book at https://www.informit.com/ as outlined in the preface of the text.This textbook takes a more hands on approach and forces you to type it out and debug the code. Learning through this book is the harder way but once you do it you understand it more by experience.if you have any questions or concerns about this text on your journey you can email the author and he can give you guidance at help@learncodethehardway.org.This textbook is the same as Learn Python The Hard Way but for the python 3 interpreter.I accidentally started studying Learn python The Hard way for the python 2 interpreter using the python 3 interpreter and I have been looking this text for reference when im stuck.I am very impressed by his first book so this text should only be an improvement.I would recommend this as the first book to anyone looking to learn python programming.Quick outlay of his textbooks:Learn Python The Hard Way - textbook for the older python 2 interpreter that comes with lectures on dvdLearn Python 3 the Hard Way - Same as "Learn Python The Hard way" but revised for python3Learn More Python 3 the hard way - The sequel to "Learn Python 3 the Hard Way" that comes with accompanying lectures once you register it.

Me gustó que tiene muchos ejercicios para practicar y cubre muchas cosas básicas, está muy bien para principiantes

The author does a great job of teaching by example. This is the fifth or sixth programming language that I've decided to learn and the technique of teaching simple concepts in small steps - rather than page after page of boring and easily forgotten "rules" - has made this "learn-by-doing" approach the easiest of any I've tried.

I originally purchased this book for a senior developer who wanted to go from Java to Python to keep his skills updated. When I got the book I had a quick flick through and I knew I would need to purchase it myself. I'm a full stack developer myself and last year I came over to backend and started learning Python, then jumped straight onto Django (advanced, got pretty good at it) but I found that when it came to writing some functions, classes I was still struggling as I didn't understand partly the logic and words like 'args' and 'kwargs' , functions how to write them, let alone the ruling of what if , else statements, as it wasn't explained online very well, no matter what course or tutorial I took, other issue was what version had I been learning Python in? Was it 2/3 god knows, no one ever wrote down the version.. hence why some of my code wouldn't work and left me in a confused sense of thought.This book since reading it yesterday i've been able to jump back onto my Django / Python projects with a new found confidence, it now makes a lot more sense and has given me a real good fresher and understanding on the fundamentals. The author is brilliant and I really do look forward to purchasing more of these books as he makes it quite funny to learn python, and the coding examples are brilliant. The questions are also brilliant, explains these in a human readable context, very much in the way is wysiwyg.Highly Recommend this book to any beginner, or any mid level developer who needs a refresh. I look forward to seeing more advanced books now from this author.
