Advance Praise for
Head First Python
“
Head First Python
is a great introduction to not just the Python language, but Python as it’s used in the
real world. The book goes beyond the syntax to teach you how to create applications for Android phones,
Google’s App Engine, and more.”
— David Griffiths, author and Agile coach
“Where other books start with theory and progress to examples,
Head First Python
jumps right in with code
and explains the theory as you read along.
This is a much more effective learning environment, because
it engages the reader to
do
from the very beginning. It was also just a joy to read. It was fun without
being flippant and informative without being condescending. The breadth of examples and explanation
covered the majority of what you’ll use in your job every day. I’ll recommend this book to anyone
starting out on Python.”
— Jeremy Jones, coauthor
of
Python for Unix and Linux System Administration
“
Head First Python
is a terrific book for getting a grounding in a language that is increasing in relevance
day by day.”
— Phil Hartley, University of Advancing Technology
Praise for other
Head First
books
“Kathy and Bert’s
Head First Java
transforms the printed page into the closest thing to a GUI you’ve ever
seen. In a wry, hip manner, the authors make learning Java an engaging ‘what’re they gonna do next?’
experience.”
— Warren Keuffel,
Software Development Magazine
“Beyond the engaging style that drags you forward from know-nothing into exalted Java warrior status,
Head
First Java
covers a huge amount of practical matters that other texts leave as the dreaded ‘exercise for the
reader.…’ It’s clever, wry, hip and practical—there aren’t a lot of textbooks that can make that claim and live
up to it while also teaching you about object serialization and network launch protocols.”
— Dr. Dan Russell, Director of User Sciences and Experience Research
IBM Almaden Research Center (and teaches Artiicial Intelligence at
Stanford University)
“It’s fast, irreverent, fun, and engaging. Be careful—you might actually learn something!”
— Ken Arnold, former Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems
Coauthor (with James Gosling, creator of Java),
The Java Programming
Language
“I feel like a thousand pounds of books have just been lifted off of my head.”
— Ward Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and founder of the Hillside Group
“Just the right tone for the geeked-out, casual-cool guru coder in all of us. The right reference for practi-
cal development strategies—gets my brain going without having to slog through a bunch of tired, stale
professor-speak.”
— Travis Kalanick, founder of Scour and Red Swoosh
Member of the MIT TR100
“There are books you buy, books you keep, books you keep on your desk, and thanks to O’Reilly and the
Head First crew, there is the penultimate category, Head First books. They’re the ones that are dog-eared,
mangled, and carried everywhere.
Head First SQL
is at the top of my stack. Heck, even the PDF I have
for review is tattered and torn.”
— Bill Sawyer, ATG Curriculum Manager, Oracle
“This book’s admirable clarity, humor and substantial doses of clever make it the sort of book that helps
even non-programmers think well about problem-solving.”
— Cory Doctorow, co-editor of Boing Boing
Author,
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
and
Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
Praise for other
Head First
books
“I received the book yesterday and started to read it…and I couldn’t stop. This is definitely très ‘cool.’ It
is fun, but they cover a lot of ground and they are right to the point. I’m really impressed.”
— Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer, and coauthor of
Design Patterns
“One of the funniest and smartest books on software design I’ve ever read.”
— Aaron LaBerge, VP Technology, ESPN.com
“What used to be a long trial and error learning process has now been reduced neatly into an engaging
paperback.”
— Mike Davidson, CEO, Newsvine, Inc.
“Elegant design is at the core of every chapter here, each concept conveyed with equal doses of
pragmatism and wit.”
— Ken Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Disney Online
“I
♥
Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML
—it teaches you everything you need to learn in a ‘fun-coated’
format.”
— Sally Applin, UI Designer and Artist
“Usually when reading through a book or article on design patterns, I’d have to occasionally stick myself
in the eye with something just to make sure I was paying attention. Not with this book. Odd as it may
sound, this book makes learning about design patterns fun.
“While other books on design patterns are saying ‘Bueller…Bueller…Bueller…’ this book is on the float
belting out ‘Shake it up, baby!’”
— Eric Wuehler
“I literally love this book. In fact, I kissed this book in front of my wife.”
— Satish Kumar
