There are many good books to learn how to code in Python. However, most books and courses show you how it's done and move on to the next topic. This book is different. It not only shows you how it's done, it will explain why it's done this way and how it works. This additional inside is going to make a difference in you being an average programmer or being a really good one!

Many coding books lose much of their usefulness after you learn the concepts they have to teach you. But recipe books are great because they become permanent references. When you want to do something specific, you can go right to it. Sometimes I just browse them to see if there is any code that triggers an idea or to run into something I never thought of doing. And this book has more than 130 recipes in my favorite programming language.

The review covers the third edition of Modern Python Cookbook. This book is not necessarily for the first-time Python user, but if you have some previous experience, this book is the one you want in your collection. It starts with simple Python lessons about numbers, strings, and tuples then progresses into functions, lists, dictionaries, and how to create classes. The chapter about graphics and visualization using the Jupyter notebook was a nice touch. The book is easy to follow and the examples are extremely helpful. I highly recommend this book.

I've recently finished reading "Modern Python Cookbook 3rd Edition" by Steve Lott, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful read. This book is packed with practical recipes and examples that cater to both intermediate and advanced Python developers.One of the standout features of this book is its clear and concise explanations, which made it easy to grasp even the more complex concepts.Another highlight was the section on testing and debugging. The recipes on using pytest and mocking were extremely useful.Steve Lott's emphasis on writing clean and maintainable code resonated with me deeply. His approach to leveraging Python's powerful features like decorators, context managers, and metaclasses has not only improved the quality of my code but also boosted my productivity.Overall, "Modern Python Cookbook 3rd Edition" is a treasure trove of Python wisdom. Whether you're looking to refine your skills or seeking new techniques to tackle challenging problems, this book is an invaluable resource. Highly recommended for anyone serious about mastering Python!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
