This book is not for the beginner or the novice. It should be titled "Advancing your knowledge of Python...the hard way". If anyone buys this book without a clear understanding of Python, you will quickly close this book and return to it later in your education journey.

The book is well organized. The author insists on directing the reader to his resources. One does have the option of using this book as a guide, while utilizing other resources.

This book is for the advanced user. It is not for the beginner who is learning Python. For the advanced user, it is a great resource.
