Programming Python2 reviews
Mark Lutz

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006

A great resource for the python programmer.

The only thing I regret about buying this book is not getting the hardcover version - it's a huge, comprehensive book. It's got the best section on GUI programming in python that I've seen so far, and all the examples given throughout the book are practical, useful thing - unlike a lot of other ...
  
  











  



  
Object-Oriented Programming in Python2 reviews
Michael H Goldwasser, David Letscher

Prentice Hall, 2007

Best Python Book but

There are only some problems have the answer (less than 5% of the total). This was not a problem because David Letscher, one of the author, was my professor, since he rarely used problem from the book for the tests and the final. There is also a small problem with the graphic library, ...
  
  











  



  
Python Cookbook37 reviews

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

Worth the money

+ i cook a lot
+ A great edition

This is the only Python book I've seen to date which provides detailed and practical examples of metaprogramming idioms, and it gets five stars for that chapter way in the back alone. The chapter on sockets programming also made me laugh since Guido seems to be incredibly proud of what I personally ...

Learning Python, 3rd Edition124 reviews
Mark Lutz

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

Great book!

+ Good for beginners, the python docs can do equally good

This book is great! Good writing, good exercises. Good for people who have some experience in programming. If you have never had any contact to other languages or logic, consider studying some introdutory topics before reading this book.

Foundations of Agile Python Development (Expert's Voice in Open Source)2 reviews
Jeff Younker

Apress, 2008

Just the intro chapter is worth it

+ Likely very good for a niche audience.

I was not disappointed when I started reading this book. The first chapter which covers the theory of "Agile Development", is just great. Now, I am no agile programming expert. The only thing I currently do is write a lot unit tests. But I think I will take some advice for the future (like ...

Simply awesome. Awesome cubed: (i) wxWidgets is a wonderful thing - a cross-platform windowing toolkit that uses native widgets to give extremely pretty cross-platform GUI applications. (ii) wxPython is a fabulous implementation of wxWidgets in Python, taking advantage of various Python ...

MATLABŪ Recipes for Earth Sciences2 reviews
Martin H. Trauth

Springer, 2007

Recipes for Earth Science

+ A good recipe book on a topic that is rarely written about

This is a well written, perhaps slightly overpriced book, providing an overview and starting point for a wide range of applications in geosciences, such as image processing in remote sensing, generation and processing of digital elevation models and the analysis of time series - as stated. Also, ...

Python Power!: The Comprehensive Guide (Power!)1 review
Matt Telles

Course Technology PTR, 2007

A simple but useful Python Guide - nothing more

The title is a little misleading. Python Power!: The Comprehensive Guide. Well, it is a Python Guide, but without much Power (it is there in Python but you will need to apply it - the book does not do it for you) and definitely not Comprehensive. At around 500 pages not sure why the author would ...

Numerical Methods in Engineering with Python2 reviews
Jaan Kiusalaas

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Undergrad Numerical Method Textbook

+ As advertized - could use a little more context.

The content is typical of an undergraduate course in numerical methods. The author employs Python for that. It doesn't tell you how to use various modules available on the net. Instead, the author sticks to the standard few and explains numerical methods from the very basics. The book is very ...
  
  











  



  
Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science
John M. Zelle

Franklin Beedle & Associates, 2003

This book is designed to be used as the primary textbook in a college-level first course in computing. It takes a fairly traditional approach, emphasizing problem solving, design, and programming as the core skills of computer science. However, these ideas are illustrated using a non-traditional language, namely Python. Although I use Python as the language, teaching Python is not the main ...
