“Head First Python is a great introduction to not just the Python language, but Python as it’s used in the real world. The book goes beyond the syntax to teach you how to create applications for Android phones, Google’s App Engine, and more.”
—David Griffiths, author and Agile coach
“Where other books start with theory and progress to examples, Head First Python jumps right in with code and explains the theory as you read along. This is a much more effective learning environment, because it engages the reader to do from the very beginning. It was also just a joy to read. It was fun without being flippant and informative without being condescending. The breadth of examples and explanation covered the majority of what you’ll use in your job every day. I’ll recommend this book to anyone starting out on Python.”
—Jeremy Jones, coauthor of Python for Unix and Linux System Administration
“Head First Python is a terrific book for getting a grounding in a language that is increasing in relevance day by day.”
—Phil Hartley, University of Advancing Technology
