Reviews

“Go forward and learn this amazing language using this great ebook.” — Michael Kennedy, Talk Python

“The wording is casual, simple to understand, and makes the information flow well.” — Thomas Wong, Pythonista

“I struggled for a long time trying to teach myself. I toiled through dozens of incomplete online tutorials. I dozed through hours of boring screencasts. I gave up on uncountable crufty books from big-time publishers. And then I found Real Python. The simple-to-follow, step-by-step instructions break the big concepts down into bite-sized chunks written in plain English. The authors never forget their audience and are consistently comprehensive and detailed in their explanations. I’m up and running now, but I continuously refer to the material for guidance.” — Jared Nielsen, Pythonista
