Here is some of the feedback received about The Python Coding Book<\/em>. A common theme is people who had tried and failed but found that this text “talks to them” in a way other books and courses didn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"So I had tried to learn Python on <another site>. The first course I chose was from a respected teacher. It was entirely copy my code and see the results.<\/p>\n

I then chose another course which was by someone who knew Python well (and other languages) and had taught coding for many years including training for tech companies. This unfortunately fell short, and was again just copy my code essentially.\nQuite discouraging.<\/p>\n

However this book of yours we are working through is the first time each concept is explained.<\/strong>\nIt\u2019s the first time I\u2019m understanding what everything does.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far I\u2019m following and understanding which feels a little bit like I\u2019m being enlightened ! So basically if you can\u2019t tell already I can\u2019t give this book enough praise. And yes I absolutely want to soak in even the bits which you\u2019ve warned will be related to data-driven fields."<\/p>\n

"Hello, Dr Gruppetta, I wanted to send you a thank you message for writing such a great introductory course on Python. Programming is something I\u2019ve flirted with but actively avoided during my undergrad, as I thought that being a liberal arts buff coding would be incompatible with me, but your book has been a pleasant surprise in proving me wrong.<\/p>\n

Your writing is succinct, easy to understand, and process oriented<\/strong>, which I really appreciate it. With the exercises you\u2019ve provided, I\u2019m starting to realise that my first experiences with programming weren\u2019t at all representative of my abilities to problem solve or structure my thinking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been a great confidence booster for me, and I\u2019m sure other folks are also realising that they were never really the problem, it was their lack of resources or the information being inaccessible. Thanks again for a wonderful free resource, have a great week!"<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to say congrats and thanks for your work. As a new \u201cwanna be Pythonista\u201d I stumbled over your book\/website few days back and I can\u2019t stop reading it<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

"Stephen, your Python coding book is the best I ever read about coding ! Thank \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc you so much \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffcfor the free version online.<\/p>\n

So many things I finally understand<\/strong> – you did an amazing job!"<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201cThe Python Coding Book\u201d book forced me to create Twitter account, so that I can follow the author :). Great book!\u201d<\/p>\n

"Hi Stephen, I\u2019d just like to say how much I am enjoying your Python Coding book!\u00a0 I\u2019ve spent about 50 hours learning python using <another site> but your book explains the concepts and syntax of Python in a far more intuitive way!<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0In particular, I thought your explanation of the difference between the \u2018=\u2019 and \u2018==\u2019 operators was excellent, with the former being the equivalent of bringing an empty storage box with a label on it.\u00a0\u00a0What\u2019s more I haven\u2019t come across a single typo yet – incredibly professional work!<\/p>\n

"I\u2019m loving The Python Coding Book by Stephen Gruppetta. It covers the \u201cwhy\u201d as well as the \u201chow\u201d in a simple and understandable way<\/strong>, and is filling in many of the gaps from my self-taught \u201cGoogle when I get stuck\u201d approach to learning Python over the past year!<\/p>\n
