No Starch Press Beyond The Basic Stuff With Python: Best Practices for Writing Clean Code

After coming from Eric Mathes' "Python Crash Course" I was hoping this book would maybe be a bit of a challenge. But it wasn't. I definitely learnt a few cool things and it has helped me here and there, but I wouldn't say this material is much further than 'basic' definitely still worth a read though.

I bought this book after havind read "Automate the boring stuff with Python" and maybe I expected too much from this book. It still has plenty of useful content, but this one is less practically oriented.and its content is less.

Totally recommended except that it is printed in black and white.

Very interesting for the beginner AND the advanced Python developers.

I am a "home workshop" kind of programmer. I took one CS class in college 20 years ago and did well. I use code to help with work tasks (formatting a dozen Excel worksheets) and to comb through plaintext files of novels for interesting patterns (I teach English).This book is just what I didn't know I wanted. Advice on how to automatically format code, how to dig into Github (where I have an account but am baffled), how to ask a good question on Stackexchange, how to name functions and variables clearly and consistently: these are all questions I have had without knowing how to articulate them.Exceptionally well-written, clear, well-organized, and with a remarkable knack for separating wheat from chaff and understanding what a low-intermediate programmer like me will benefit from. It's superb.
