Book Reviews of Python in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))
Book Review: A masterpiece of style and economy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredibly good book and covers an enormous amount of ground. You get a potted history of the Python language, a language overview, a guide to OOP and exception handling, modular programming, file manipulation, string manipulation, database programming, threading, GUI development, web development and much, much more. Suprisingly, you can pretty much learn the Python language from the coverage in this book (which is generally not the case for Nutshell books which are aimed by-and-large at the technically savvy). Credit also to the author for his exceptionally clear and concise writing style (which is even more impressive when you consider that Italian is his first language). This may be the only Python book you'll ever need. Certainly it should be the first that you buy.
