Typical Dummies book - very comprehensive and easy to follow.
The book is in great condition. However, it was not written for Python 3 - my mistake. I should have checked into that before. But as a newbie I can still use it as I have Python 3 built into my Ubuntu OS and I am using a editor/terminal app that is Python 3 aware.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Still relavant
Overall excellent. Only drawback is that "current" version of Python is "newer" than the book. So far, only found 1 command that doesn't work as in the book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
