    Awesome!
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2014*

My 13 year old daughter wanted to learn programming, so I choose a coursera MOOC called "Programming for Everyone".  The course is taught by Dr. Severance (Dr Chuck) and this is the book that is used.  We are only one week and one chapter into the book, and I'm writing a review now because I just cannot believe how well he teaches by injecting humor into what would be considered dry concepts.  For example, he teaches the concept of reserved words by explaining that a dog hears the word "walk" as a reserved word.  In a sentence containing the word "walk", the dog hears everything else as blah blah blah...  The dog only hears the word "walk".  I'm taking the course with her and am actually looking forward to doing so.  I -- a middle aged Mom who has a messaging phone and still uses a paper planner!Update: My daughter did not last long in going through the coursera book, but she is 13 after all and on to a different project of building a dollhouse.  I had to delay taking the course until I had more time, and I am finding it both challenging and helpful.  There are worked exercises for each week that follow the chapters in the book.  I am finding that it takes me multiple attempts to get the exercises correct, so the process reminds me of how I learned math as a child.  Nothing is better at getting information solidly learned than to work problems over and over.  I would highly recommend the coursera course.  It can be taken at no cost, or you can pay to get a certificate.  I paid to get a certificate so that I would stay on track in taking the course.  I added a picture of the instructor as Snape.  He succeeds in making this course fun!Update 10/21/15: I completed the first of five coursera courses based on the book.  Finally, after attempting and failing to learn Java and SQL, I get the concept of using what is called a parameter in Python.  I literally laugh out loud at some of the antics in the coursera videos that use this book.

    Great book, no prior programming assumed (although that always helps).
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2015*

I wasn't sure what  "Informatics" was when I ordered this book (kindle version) and I really just wanted some cheap exposure to Python programming  to determine if it was something I wanted to pursue.  Serendipity Baby!! First, the price was perfect: $0. I don't know how you can get a book of this quality for free, but thank you Lord!  Second, the authors style is very readable, well organized and surprisingly thorough for a somewhat "thin" book. Finally, my interest in Python programming  has significantly increased, which is really the ultimate measure of success for an author of this type of book.And for those of you wondering about the meaning of "Informatics", here is my attempt at the practical meaning (as it relates to this book). We often times need to glean "bits" of information from copious amounts of bulk data.  Mr. Severance  covered several examples for collecting and managing such data from email dumps, web pages and databases.

    This is a very good book. and easy to follow
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016*

This is a very good book. and easy to follow. It is mostly targeted to those who are mostly interested in Data analytics rather than programming. May be for a Computer science student it does not hold that much of value as some other references does. It does not cover algorithms or deep down programming techniques. But for a data analytist this book is has well detailed information of how the functions and modules really work.
