Review: Extraordinary Book - It’s received wisdom that if you want to learn a programming language you need to sit down and program in that language. Books and videos certainly have their place, but you learn best by doing. Christian Hill’s extraordinary book bridges that gap by providing (1) a thorough description of the Python language but by also providing (2) thought-provoking questions (with answers in the text) and (3) an eclectic array of “problems”, which are intriguing programming exercises drawn from the scientific literature. If you really want to learn scientific programming in Python do at least a couple of the many problems in each section of the book, those that appeal to your specific interests. The author must have quite the imagination to provide so many interesting challenges. And the bonus is that solutions are to be found on the authors online website. Five stars plus!
Review: Excellent resource and just what is needed - Of the 'python for science' books out there, this one is very good. It covers enough of the language to be useful. For example any project of sufficient complexity will use object oriented features of the code, and this book covers enough of that to be useful. It's not exhaustive on OOP but that's not the point of the book. Otherwise, the code examples and overviews of the python packages for science is thorough enough that one should be able to immediately start using those packages productively. I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterpiece !
*by A***R on December 13, 2021*

I started this book because after having completed some online courses in Python I was feeling that I wasn't actually learning. This is the best programming book I have ever read. Every chapter has decent amount of theory and references. At the end of each subsection you have some questions (with solutions on the back of the book), and of course problems that seriously require critical thinking. The solutions of these problems are on the website of the book, where the author is commenting almost line by line. Following this book you will not only learn Python, but you will also learn how to code. If you manage to solve the majority of problems of this book you will certainly not be a beginner anymore and you will have the built the foundation needed for more advanced topics. Just buy it you won't regret it.
