Python is a powerful programming language that's easy to learn and fun to play |
|
with. But once you've gotten a handle on the basics, what do you do next?</p> |

<p>When I start to not get a book, one thing I ask myself is: Am I the target |
|
audience for this book? 'Cause, you know, I may need to reflect if the book is |
|
actually good for beginners instead of people who already know the topic. </p> |
|
<p>And here is the problem with this book: it does a bad job finding its target. </p> |
|
<p>The reason is simple: the code is full of violations of PEP8, something Python |
|
beginners should not be exposed to and something expert developers get pissed. </p> |
|
<p>Now, there is nothing wrong with your weekend projects to not follow standards |
|
-- that's perfectly acceptable. But when you have your code published in a |
|
book, you must, at least, follow the general guidelines that the community |
|
follows. </p> |
|
<p>But let's throw this out of the window: is the book "good"? The answer is |
|
mostly "well...". It's not bad, but it isn't really interesting. It is merely |
|
ok. </p> |
