I've been going through the book as a non-programmer beginner. I ran through another book on Python syntax first and this was my next step forward. I have a few thoughts on the book I'll share.1. The book is definitely oriented towards people with a computer science/programming background.2. However, if you have a high tolerance for not understanding everything it is a lovely introduction to a GREAT many concepts. I really think the author does a great job giving you an intro into many/most applications of Python.3. This is a book on professional Python programming. Which is good and bad depending on you. If you are interested in using this professionally then I think this book would be great for you. Fabrizio is clearly a professional and his insights into skills and habits needed to program effectively are very valuable and delivered in a memorable way. If you are just interested in writing some ugly scribble that gets the job done inefficiently, you may find these insights distracting/time-consuming from your quest of learning the basics.4. Lastly, to get the most out of the book you really need to take your time and practice the concepts. Learning anything requires remembering/testing your knowledge and if you just 'read' the book there are very few tests, only examples. I'll admit I have rushed through a lot of it. Likely I will now try to use the concepts to take on projects and review/study topics in more depth going forward.Final thought: I think the book has been very challenging for me. Likely I could have found a slightly more beginner friendly book to do first. However, I still think this has been fantastic and now that I have suffered through many of the chapters I feel MUCH MUCH more knowledgeable of thinking like a programmer, the fundamental philosophies of Python (Fabrizio's strongest teaching point), and moving forward to focus both on mastering needed concepts and studying the Python disciplines I'm most interested in to do projects.

Setting up a IDE environment and learning Python, I use to use Perl so I hope this book works to re-fire my memory.

I find books by this publisher are very hit and miss but this one is definitely a hit for me.I've been programming for more than 10 years but totally new to Python and found for me the book was paced well and structured well and covered a good breadth of the topic. I also enjoyed the enthusiasm with which the subject matter was presented and occasional dashes of humour to keep things from getting too dry.
