Murach's Python Programming: Beginner to Pro

The author gives great explanations on the Python programming language. The example programs are great to learn from. I enjoyed doing the coding exercises at the end of each chapter. I also learned how to write the source code to graphical user interfaces, as well as object-oriented programming in Python. Overall, the book helped me learn the basics of programming in Python very well.

This is by far the best PYTHON tutorial I have come across. I owe my DB2 skills to MURACH's DB2 book , and now I will owe my PYTHON to this book. Tried UDEMY, UDACITY, some other video and printed tutorials but didnt get the feel of it. I was so glad when MURACH announced they will be coming out with one for python. Murach's side-by-side lecture & example really works for me. And the sample codes and exercises are valuable tutorials that any newbie will want to keep as reference materials. Really effective training style. P.S. Like the other reviewer, I also would love to see a PYTHON book on GUI/web programming . But anyway , this book = 5 stars for me.

Let me just say this first: the material in the book itself is worth 6 stars. It's second to none in its quality. This goes for all Murach books, 5 of which I own. The one reason however, that I've ranked this book and a few of their other books (made after their HTML5/CSS3 book) a 4 is that it seems like they've changed the thickness and quality of the paper the pages are printed on. I've noticed with the newer books that because the pages are thinner, if you like to take notes and highlight like myself, that everything tends to bleed through the pages and look bad. To be fair, I would rank this product a 4.8 if I could, removing a fifth of a star for this downside. Otherwise, I wouldn't suggest learning languages from anything but a Murach book.

This book goes in an order that makes sense. The descriptions are clear. The table of contents is very useful for looking up how to do something. So far, this is the only textbook for a non-major class that I've decided to keep on my shelf for future use.

This book is super detailed in the right ways to learn. I have bought about three different authors and this guy is the best if your new and want to learn! Thank you for being such a great teacher

This time the reviews were misleading.The book is not what I expected,although the layout is for quick reference of the particular section,the content and layout is lacking.I found the content boring,bland.I could have bought many other books at half the price and be successful.i bought a book for my Grandson called Python for kids.The layout and content are attractive and inviting.It teaches everything and does not look like a boring reference.The Murachs methods are not the best,the left page is a direct repetition of what is on the right,no detailed description,only an attempt to quick publishing.The web site is the same as the book.Im disappointed.Guess which book I have completed?I have also joined Udemy for the Python Masterclass,now I'm succeeding.Python is great,books can make or break the interest in any subject,or you must buy a dozen books to find th suitable on for you.Maybe someone out there can refer me to a Python book that includes good study material without the robot style.I will sell Murachs back to Amazon.

Excellent text book. Easy to understand & read. I like the format on how it is presented. The exercises at the end of the chapter give me real world projects & reenforce what I have read.

This book is good for beginners who are looking to learn how to code.
