Rezensionen

"Python is a programming language, but it is also fun to play with. This book recognizes that."
Geek Tech Stuff

"Rather than being an introductory text, Vaughan s book pushes you in interesting directions for solving a diverse set of problems. Most of these impractical projects, while themselves being not so useless after all, will have parallels to real life projects."
Greg Laden, Greg Laden's Blog

"The book is not a Python tutorial or guide. Instead, it presents stimulating coding projects for non-programmers who want to use Python for doing experiments, test theories, or simulate natural phenomena.
Paolo Amoroso, Moonshots Beyond the Cloud Blog

"A must have second book for every developer that ever wants to learn Python as a language."
Ian Mizer, Atlanta Python Programmers Group

"The writing is excellent . . . Every project is accessible and has enough explanation to motivate coding."
Ravi Srinivasan, Playful Python
