Starting Out with Python 4th Edition

Purchased for a summer class. Was able to learn Python. The content was presented well and examples were easy to understand.

Excellent beginner's guide.

Being able to rent textbooks for my college son has been a godsend! The entire process was simple and easy and way more affordable then buying the books. We will definitely use the service in the future. Thanks Amazon!

I needed it for school, it does really well explaining the definitions and helping out with programming, a little upset that it came a little damaged, it was late but that is understandable.

I needed this book for a programming class in school, so I rented it here because it was cheaper and not loose leaf. I have found that I really like this book and would like to have it around for reference in the future so I am buying it at the end of my rental.

Saved me a lot of money on buying a book or renting else-where.The book was exactly what I needed for my cop1000 course (got an A) and the book is what I used!(I didn't like the way the teacher taught and didn't find the lectures helpful... The book though, it saved my life.)

All the books I found at the Barnes and Noble store (for general public consumption) were garbage.I wish the author had combined this with his general Logic book, which is very good but with too little Python information.

Meh.. The university program for data analysis required this book for students who are new to programming. I taught two different grade levels. It is so so for grad students who never programmed. I had more success teaching from my notes with jupyter notebooks. The book would be much better for High School students. The book is an ok intro to python 3, but the instructor will have to supplement a lot of material and mention differences between python 2.7.x and 3.xThe authors don't mention comprehensions or iterables which I found surprising. They have left much out - too much. They do a decent job on python's object model.For upper level tyros, it is a bit too low level.
