Description
Dead Simple Python dives deep into the nuts and bolts of the Python programming language. It unpacks the technical 'whys' and 'hows' of the language's fundamental concepts and helps readers use these concepts to write idiomatic Python. Readers go from basics to project deployment in under 400 pages.
A lightning-fast guide to Python for programmers who already know the basics.

Reviews
"An invaluable resource for those looking to learn the fundamentals of the Python programming language. . . . Dead Simple Python is an ideal choice for Python beginners who want to quickly advance from the bare basics to production-level coding."
-Ben Lutkevich, TechTarget
"Definitely a book that any Python programmer NEEDS to have on [their] bookshelf!"
-Full Circle Magazine
"Makes a good starting point for those contemplating a serious Python effort and who need to start with the basics."
-Lee Teschler, Microcontroller Tips
"The book that anyone who wants to become an expert Python programmer should read. . . . I don't believe that anyone who works through the material in this book will fail to become a competent and confident Python coder. It is quite a fantastic book."
-Sandra Henry-Stocker, NetworkWorld
"Reasonably paced and clear. . . . I expect that I'll refer to the book the next time I start a small Python project."
-Paul Floyd, ACCU
"I especially enjoyed the practical approach to getting started with developing code using tools like virtual environments. It's a hefty book coming in at almost 700 pages but definitely worth adding to your library."
