Python In A Day: Learn The Basics, Learn It Quick, Start Coding Fast (In A Day Books) Review: Excellent introductory book to programming - Wow! This is a great book on programming. It's such an excellent resource, that pretty much everyone, even people who are scared of programming, will be able to start writing basic code in just an hour or two. The examples are very excellent and they're easy to follow. I've read a lot of really bad programming books, so I was delighted to find one that got everything right. Even if you're not interested in Python, I'd still recommend getting this book as an introduction to programming. It's that great of a book. It is pretty short, but I found it just the right length. I use this book as my textbook, whenever I need to teach someone the basics of programming. And, it taught me a few things, too, even though I've been programming since the 1980's. Pros: +The best book on introductory programming available +Excellent introduction to Python +Great examples +Extremely readable +The Kindle version is formatted well Cons: -Pretty short, but luckily they have a sequel Review: Great Intro to Python - I've done some C programming in the past and currently do a lot of bash and korn shell scripting. It was recommended that I learn Python and so this book was my intro. The case for: If you've never done any programming or scripting this book is perfect. It goes through some of the basics in a clear and concise manner. It's not over simplified but definitely written for rookies. It's also material that anyone should be able to cover in a few hours. I should also point out that the book is really well written, the topics flow nicely and make perfect sense. The case against: Not much really. I was expecting more topics but quite honestly you get your money's worth. If you're a seasoned programmer it might be too basic but if you're new to coding this has lots of good stuff to get you started; reading input, storing data, output, and functions (among other things). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,820,553 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,111 in Python Programming | | Book 1 of 3 | In A Day Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (284) | | Dimensions | 5.06 x 0.18 x 7.81 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1490475575 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1490475578 | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 78 pages | | Publication date | March 27, 2013 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![Python In A Day: Learn The Basics, Learn It Quick, Start Coding Fast (In A Day Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41U1hMiadqL.jpg) ![Python In A Day: Learn The Basics, Learn It Quick, Start Coding Fast (In A Day Books) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fn4x27ixL.jpg) ![Python In A Day: Learn The Basics, Learn It Quick, Start Coding Fast (In A Day Books) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31fu+W6aCxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent introductory book to programming *by J***Y on June 6, 2015* Wow!

Many "beginner" books are still highly involved, text dense, and overly technical. Richard Wagstaff does a very good job of introducing the reader to Ruby from the simplest concepts and incrementally expanding on them over the course of the book. The reader starts coding almost immediately, rather than reading chapter after chapter of text, which makes this book great fun to learn with. Wagstaff also makes little assumption of prior experience in programming, so he explains concepts thoroughly while not excluding those that do. Following each practice example, he breaks down and explains each Ruby term used in plain English--super straightforward. I would definitely recommend this book, especially to those who are taking their very first steps in Ruby. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/2438423-python-in-a-day-learn-the-basics-learn-it-quick](https://www.desertcart.at/products/2438423-python-in-a-day-learn-the-basics-learn-it-quick) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
