Recenzii
“The text explains how to set up and program in Python language from the very basic in an easy-to-read manner with lots of graphical illustrations and example-based approaches. Clear learning objectives in the beginning of each chapter with tips and know-hows, concluding with the chapter exercises and references are very well structured for the first-time programmers without scientific backgrounds.”
“The organization is good, and the range of topics is very adaptable to courses.”
“Explains the code line by line, great examples, code is simple and clear, coverage is relevant.”
“Practical examples, content organized around practical use, clear and non-technical language.”
