Who this book is for

This book is for people who have some programming experience, but not necessarily with Python. Some knowledge of basic programming concepts will come in handy, although it is not a requirement.

Even if you already have some experience with Python, this book can still be useful to you, both as a reference to Python’s fundamentals, and for providing a wide range of considerations and suggestions collected over four combined decades of experience.

To get the most out of this book

You are encouraged to follow the examples in this book. You will need a computer, an internet connection, and a browser. The book is written in Python 3.9, but it should also work, for the most part, with any recent version of Python 3.
