  1. Top 10 Python Books for Beginners & Advanced Programmers2019 Python is a general-purpose interpreted programming language used for web development, machine learning, and complex data analysis. Python is a perfect language for beginners as it is easy to learn and understand. As the popularity of the language is soaring, the opportunities in Python programming are amplifying as well. If you wish to learn Python programming, there are plenty of books available in the market. Books provide you the ability to learn at your on time even if you are on the go and they go really in detail. We bring to you a list of 10 best Python books for beginners and advanced programmers. These books will help programmers of all skill levels, from amateurs to code wizards. The list also includes a few free Python books for beginners. Best Python Books for Beginners Python Crash Course ‘Python Crash Course’ by Eric Matthews is a fast-paced and comprehensive introduction to Python language for beginners, who wish to learn Python programming and write useful programs. The book aims to get you up to speed fast enough and have you writing real programs in no time at all. This book is also for programmers who have a vague understanding of the language and wish to brush up their knowledge before trying their hands on Python

  2. programming. As you work through the book, you will learn the use of libraries and tools such as Numpy and matplotlib and work with data to create stunning visualizations. You will also learn about the idea behind 2d games and Web applications and how to create them. This 560 pages long book is majorly dissected into two parts. The first part of the book discusses the basics of Python programming and sheds lights on concepts such as dictionaries, lists, loops, and classes. You will understand the working of a Python program and learn how to write clean and readable code which creates interactive programs. The part ends with the topic of how to test your code before you add it to a project. The second part of the book follows a practical approach and will help you test your knowledge by presenting three different projects, an arcade game, a simple web application and data visualizations using Python’s libraries. Head-First Python (2nd edition) ‘Head-First Python’ by Paul Barry is a quick and easy fix for you if you wish to learn the basics of Python programming without having to slog through counterproductive tutorials and books. The book will help you in gaining a quick grasp of the fundamentals of Python programming and working with built-in functions and data structures. The book then moves to help you build your own web application, exception handling, data wrangling, and other concepts. Head first Python makes use of a visual format rather than a text-based approach, helping you to see and learn better.

  3. The author is Paul Barry, a lecturer at the Institute of Technology, Carlow, Ireland. Before entering the academic world, he worked for over a decade in the IT industry. He is the author of certain well-known programming books, such as Programming the Network with Perl, Head First Programming and Head First Python. Learn Python the Hard Way (3rd Edition) ‘Learn Python the Hard Way’ by Zed A. Shaw (3rd Edition) is a collection of 52 perfectly collated exercises. You will have to read the code and type it precisely. Once typed, you will have to fix the mistakes in the code for a better understanding and watch the programs run. These exercises will help you understand the working of software, structure of a well-written program and how to avoid and find common mistakes in code using some tricks that professional programmers have up their sleeves. The book begins it all by helping you install a complete Python environment, which helps you in writing optimized code. The book then discusses various topics, such as basic mathematics, variables, strings, files, loops, program design, and data structures among many others. The book is ideal for beginners who wish to learn Python programming through the crux of the language. The author is Zed A. Shaw, who is the creator of the Hard Way series which includes books on C, Python and Ruby programming language.

  4. Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science (3rdEdition) ‘Python Programming’ by John Zelle is the third edition of the original Python programming book published in 2004, the second edition of which was released in 2010. Instead of treating this book as a source to Python programming, it should be taken as an introduction to the art of programming. This book will introduce you to computer science, programming, and other concepts, only using Python language as the medium for beginners. The book will discuss its contents in a style that is most suitable for beginners, who will find the concepts in the book easy to understand and interesting. The third edition of this extremely successful book follows the path paved by the first edition and continues to test students through a time-tested approach while teaching introductory computer science. The most notable change in this edition is the removal of nearly every use of python eval() library and the addition of a section which discusses its negatives. The latest version also uses new graphic examples.

  5. Free Python Books for Beginners Learning with Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist ‘Learning with Python’ by Allen Downey, Jeff Elkner and Chris Meyers is an introduction to Python programming and using the language to create wonderful real-world programs. The book is divided into 20 sections and also includes a contributors list and a way forward. The initial sections discuss the basics of programming and what makes up a program. Then it moves on to basic Python concepts such as variables, functions, conditionals, fruitful functions and iteration. Towards the end, the book discusses the core concepts such as objects, inheritance, lists, stacks, queues, trees and debugging. The book is available for free in a variety of formats, which include PDF, Postscript, Gzipped Rar and HTML. Users are free to download and print these files as the book is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. The book has also been translated in Spanish, Italian, German and Czech, and available for download. A Byte of Python ‘A Byte of Python’ by C.H. Swaroop is a free book on Python programming with an aim to guide the beginner audience to an understanding of the Python language. The book will discuss the Python 3 version majorly, but will also help you adapt to the older versions of the language. The book is available in over 26 languages including Turkish, Swedish, French, Chinese, German, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese and Korean. The translations have been

  6. provided by active community members who vigorously work to keep the edits going on as the book is updated. The book initiates its approach with an introduction to what the book is about and what it demands from the readers concerning dedication. Then it describes Python and how it has emerged as one of the most powerful languages in the programming world. It then moves on to Python concepts and describes them in detail along with examples at every step. It culminates with how you can continue learning Python after reading this book and leaves you with a problem to solve, testing your skills even at the last step. Best Python Books Advanced Programmers Introduction to Machine Learning with Python: A Guide for Data Scientists Many commercial applications and projects have employed machine learning as an integral ingredient, and the number of applications doing so has only risen over the years. This book by Sarah Guido and Andreas C. Muller will teach you how to use Python programming language to build your own machine learning solutions.
