Ben Weston –
This book is very well written and is extremely thorough. I would say that despite the look of the book cover (looks a bit like a kiddies book), the content is very high quality and quite advanced. The author provides a corresponding GitHub repo which includes all code from the book – which again, is very well developed and presented in a highly professional manner. You simply read through each book chapter and run the GitHub examples in your own Colab setup to ‘play’ along.However, the overwhelming aspect of the book contents isn’t really Python, despite what the book title tells you! This is a book about Google Colab – Google’s own browser-based IDE. Although Colab is for running Python in your browser, this book really just uses Python as the vehicle for teaching the reader about Colab.So if you want a comprehensive lesson in the basics of Python, this book is not it – however, if you want a comprehensive overview of the notebook format of modern IDEs (which Colab is – effectively a Jupyter Notebook based, browser based IDE) then this is the book for you.Sidenote: For some reason this author doesn’t even follow PEP 8 code conventions for Python, which is a bit odd.

good

The book explains well, but the index at the back of the book is very poor. When I forget to go back to look up a function, frequently, it is not found. Even a common function like “groupby“ is not in the lndex.

There are few books like this revision of his earlier book that covered Anaconda. But he does cover f-strings in this edition. if you are new to Python and to programming either editions are good books to read. The source code for the book examples are useful to save time.The author uses the unusual camel-case notation and does not seem to know how to keep permanent files in Colab when handling files. He has too little on functions.
