Amazing book! With the help of this book and a few other resources, I was able to create a hangman game, a forest fire simulation, and encryptor, and a blackjack program all in Python. For a beginner looking to learn a programming language, use this book.

The online interactive version of this has been my favorite tool for learning programming so far!
srsmn's review against another edition
this was pretty good as an introduction to the language. be warned the title is very accurate and the book takes a very Computer Science approach to the lessons. i've found [b:Automate the Boring Stuff with Python: Practical Programming for Total Beginners|22514127|Automate the Boring Stuff with Python Practical Programming for Total Beginners|Al Sweigart|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1418768948l/22514127._SX50_.jpg|41958015] much more suitable to my needs as the emphasis is on results and there is less of the theory and maths problems. to be fair i did buy this book because of the beautiful parrot on the front and i still think he is lovely. i was quite upset when i read the inside back cover and saw he was extinct :(
