Great book, it was challenging for me. I loved it, I didn’t want to do anything else until I finished it.

It made me change my way of thinking and helped me to understand all the processed involved behind the scenes, when I use a python function.

Also made me think that everything I do in python can be done manually, but more important is that somebody else a developer, at sometime realized something was missing in python, and found it was possible to create a global function in python to make repetitive tasks easier for all the other users of python and contributed to the project.

Great book and great teacher, easy to understand instructions.

I've often recommended Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. Too often, Python learning resources become bogged down with the details and abstractions of a programming language, increasing the risk that the student will give up before understanding (and getting a sense of enjoyment from) how the knowledge can be applied in the real world. Al has done it again. Python Programming Exercises is an awesome little collection of fun exercises that will teach you practical ways of using the language, without overwhelming. And at this price, it's a no brainer.

For just a buck, this was an easy insta-buy for me. I'm no stranger to Python, but this book is fun 'cos I can whack together a solution to the problem presented, see that it works, and then compare my solution to what Al presents. It's interesting to see the different approaches we take to some of these, and it's encouraging to see that, yes, I kinda know what I'm doing (most of the time). For just one dollar, it's a great value - having fun for just a buck? Can't go wrong with this one!

This book is great for practicing Python. It’s exactly as advertised. It provides a problem and then provides additional context and hints on how to approach the problem if it’s needed. The book does not teach Python but recommends references that go along with each problem.

I bought this book as I'm currently trying to learn, relearn a few programming languages, and translate some of my knowledge from Stata/Mata programming to other software, including Python, Lua, Julia, among others.

This small book brings a set of exercises that could be great for most first-time programmers/learners. It covers most of the basics, and I can see using this in a classroom not only for Python, but other languages as well. (sometimes finding engaging exercises is hard).

Do not expect to be challenged, or become an expert in python. However, if you have some time to spare, and want to get a hold of the basics, this is definitely recommended (Especially for the Price).

The book is helping me identify the areas where I need more practice. The description for each exercise has been clear and includes hints to help complete them before we need to check the solution when stuck.

Happy with it.

Really excited to be able to use this resource for practicing my python skills and improving! Al's a great author and teacher; I loved his Automate the Boring Stuff book, and somehow, with help from his cat, he's made learning Python something I don't dread anymore.

Basically it's for those who, want to and probably don't know how too, or haven't started a program, even a simple one, we all need the experience and practical to start somewhere, this could help you to start.

Der beste Weg, etwas zu lernen, ist die angeleitete Praxis.

In klassischer Sweigart-Manier wird man hier als Leser*in vor Probleme gestellt, die es zu lösen gilt. Für jede Aufgabe gibt es mehrere Stufen von Hinweisen - angefangen bei kleinen Tipps bis zur ganzen Lösung.

Persönlich sagt mir auch die (geringe) Menge an Humor in Sweigarts Büchern zu, das ist allerdings subjektive Präferenz.

Very good!

O autor é famoso e possui livros de referência em Python. Este tem o foco em exercícios muito bem detalhados.

This really is an amazing book for someone wanting to do hands-on python project. Highly recommended.

Es muy claro

Y fácil de seguir
