Really badly structured Python Books.

[Andre P.S Duarte]

I started reading the beginning Python book. It is intended for people
who are starting out in the Python world. But it is really
complicated, because he tries to explain, then after a bad explanation
he puts out a bad example. I really recommend NOT reading the book.
For it will make you want not to continue in Python. This is just me
letting the air out of my lungs. No need to reply this is just a
recommendation. Txs for the opportunity .

There are several beginning python books. You might want to be a
little more explicit about the book you are talking about. What is
the title?

I think he means the Apress book _Beginning_Python_. Funny, though, that
it gets such good reviews on Amazon. Not every book is meant for every
student.

My experience with technical books of all types is that often you'll
find some that don't work for you at all, while they'll be great for
other people. If it is the Apress volume you're talking of, I quite
like it because its more practical than the Learning Python book from
o'reilly. Although the one I preferred the most was the online text of
Dive into Python; http://diveintopython.org/. I can see where you're
coming from though.

I went ahead and didn't read the book, and I can feel the improvement
already!
