"Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes" - Final Post and Review

If you are new to Python and want to quickly ramp-up to become no non-sense developer in Python, you might want to read this post, these posts that are related to this book and probably all of these posts to become Python Super Star.

This is going to be the final post on this book

Review Comments: I accidentally stumbled on this book when I was looking for the books on Python. As the name suggests, it met the purpose of offering the crash course in Python. I could see the chapters are shorter as that one can complete a chapter (or two) in a single sitting. and logically arranged. The code snippets (examples) and "try it yourself" offered a great insight into the programming language. If you are in a hurry to get yourself exposed to Python, grab a copy of this book and you should be making a lot of good progress in booting up in Python. I should also alarm you that this book does not cover the language and its features in great detail. If you are looking for a deeper coverage of each feature, there are other books.

I have solved all the exercises in GitHub. I do not intend to solve the projects now.

Ratings: I would rate this book a 4.5 Stars.

Recommendation: Apt for beginners of Python (If someone is new to programming, they might feel left behind in later chapters as the book covers quite a lot of ground in every chapter or might need to spend more time referring the materials online). If you are new to programming, maybe a MOOC course on Python would be an excellent start.
