Book cover of Python Without Fear by Brian Overland

Praise for this book, Python Without Fear

“This is really a great book. I wish I’d had it when I was learning Python.”

–John M. Wargo, author of Apache Cordova 4 Programming

 

Praise for the previous book in the series, C++ Without Fear

“I’m in love with your C++ Without Fear book. It keeps me awake for hours during the night. Thanks to you, I got most of the idea in just a few hours.”

–Laura Viral, graduate physics student at CERN and Istanbul, Turkey


“It’s hard to tell where I began and ended with your book. I felt like I woke up and literally knew how to write C++

code. I can’t overstate the confidence you gave me.”

– Danny Grady, senior programmer/analyst at a Fortune 500 Company
