Introduction to Programming Using Python

I am happy I bought this printed book. The electronic book (which I also purchased for a college class) has some nice features, but some of the layout in the online e-book is disorganized and difficult to interpret. The e-book publishers need to go back and compare a printed copy with what they are offering students online. They don't match exactly. I wish this book was printed on standard 8.5" x 11" paper and that the type was bigger. I bought the looseleaf version and put it in a standard 3-ring binder, where it's fine, but the picky side of me wants it to fit into a binder like "normal" paper. Also, the type is too small for me. Sometimes I'd have to stack two pairs of reading glasses on my nose to read the text. Overall, super happy I bought the printed book!

Still working my way through this for class, but I've found that things are explained well enough that the class itself is just a good review of the text book. It's easy to understand, and the exercises and examples used are great for getting a grasp on the Python language.

This was a mandatory text book so I have no real opinion about it other than it served its purpose.

Even though the seller said the condition was used, good, i received it as nearly new, with no damage at all to the book. In addition, i like how the seller left a handwriting appreciation at the end of the label! 10/10

When I first Took Python the book they were using was Gaddis, but I had to drop the class. I re-enrolled in the class and found out they changed the textbook to Daniel Liang’s Python. I struggled through the material because it did not explain anything. I had to go back to the Gaddis book to get some understanding of the material, but the Gaddis book did not cover everything in the Liang’s book. I bought the ebook from Amazon. I thought I was struggling from not having a physical book, but it was because I was not understanding the material. Example: I thought the UML diagram was apart of the programming because there was no distinction between the programming code and the UML diagram. I was so confused and I had to drop the class, again. If a class is using any of Liang’s book, I will definitely not enroll in the class. The Gaddis book was the better book and I wish my college would have continued using it. A professor also said that the Gaddis book was the better book.

This is one of the best books of python that I read so far. Everything is cover so well and it is really money worth. it give you an access code for videos and they are as good as the book. I strongly recommended so I also by the java book and is as good as this one

If you are new to python this book may not be the right book. However, if you have some experiences I would recommend it. It had tons of practice questions. Also, you can find the solutions for even numbers and on the their website.

there is a few errata... look on books companion webpage.. also some methods are not best for industry standards... i.e. eval() for user input or def main()...

I bought it for my BCA 5th semester.And it's a Good book for understanding python concepts.

👍 product

Excellent book to get started.

First of all shame on Pearson Publication for duping students with abridged edition of the original book, 4-5 chapters are missing from Indian edition, be careful before buying books from Pearson, they have adopted this habit and policy of abridging the books and supplying students with 3rd grade quality of print and paper
