Python is an easy-to-learn programming language that still has powerful computing capabilities. This is a fact that you can’t recognize until you gain access to an easy-to-follow, elegantly written source like the “Python for Everybody” book. It smoothly takes the reader through a nice journey into computer programming and the basics and applications of Python. No prior knowledge of the basics of programming is required here, since most primary aspects of data types, structures, variables, functions, statements, arguments, and so on, are comprehensively demonstrated. A nice chapter on the objectoriented programming in Python is also provided, in addition to applied chapters on using Python in data modeling and visualization. Amazing examples of a “spidering program” written in Python to dive into Twitter accounts and build a database out of them and another Python code to build a Google map from geocoded data are described to highlight the language’s capability in manipulating data. I’d strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in understating and working with Python.
