To me who knows nothing about Python, and had never heard of it until my DT teacher daughter mentioned it in conversation about an Arduino project, it appears to be very good.
I managed to read several pages, which I understood, before my daughter snaffled it. She will return it I’m sure, but she says it’s excellent.
I keep buying things only to have her ‘borrow’ them. I’ll be deducting them from her inheritance soon at this rate.
3.0 out of 5 starsA Bit Too Basic For Anybody With Programming Experience

Not worth buying for anybody with any programming experience, it's more of a very basic guide to beginning programming using Python syntax. My own benchmark for any programming book is how confident would I be writing something "useful" from scratch after reading the book? In this case not very. Saying that it is well written and if this is going to be your first step in to programming with any language and you have a particular interest in Python then it's a good book to start with.

So you can understand my background, I'm a experienced programmer in .NET and Java, but I needed to learn Python basics and fast. It helped me to get on board with Python in no time.
5.0 out of 5 starsuseful summary for moving from another language to Python

Obviously, you cannot learn Python in one day. But this book covers enough of the basics to help you write useful code quickly, provided that you already know another language. It is concise. It is not an introduction to programming.
It is my third Python book. The first was far too comprehensive. The second was probably a superb first year university course book but not suitable for rapid progress. “Python in one day” was “just right”. However, I will be keeping only the other two books for reference. The value of “Python in one day” is that it gets you started quickly.

The books contain a lot of useful information about Python, but... It explains really advanced topics such as classes, inheritance and so on without mentioning some fundamental concepts such as 'None', use of 'is' vs '==', etc.
