Kenn Goodrich said Great Book for the Novice Python Student. Great box so far. I am a novice to Python but seems to very easy to understand and is well written. I usually cut the spine off and put the pages in protectors because text books are easier to read if in a binder for me. The dimensions of the pages are 6"x9" and there are no page protectors available in that size but that is not the fault of the writer or the seller.. "I recommend this book for beginners or those getting back into programming." according to Amazon Customer. I learned FORTRAN and COBOL years ago and have not programmed (coded in today's parlance) anything since. This book helped get me back on track. Good examples and easy to read.. Good book overall Ramiro Molina Good book overall. It is a starters book. I recommend getting other books to support you such as a Python book and an electronics tinkerers book of some kind if you wish to take your Pi further than just blinking lights and communicating via a monitor and keyboard and go into controlling stepper motors and other robot-like projects.
