About the Author
Alex Bowers' programming career began when he learned PHP and MySQL for a small project that he wanted to complete. Two years later, the project was finished and Alex had become a bona fide PHP and MySql expert. He was hooked-- he just couldn't get enough of coding! This was the beginning of a lifelong passion for programming. Since then, Alex has dedicated his time to teaching others. In 2009, he began teaching PHP and MySQL on the YouTube under the name "TheTutSpace." He has since moved on to teach jQuery, Javascript, and HTML/CSS, manage a hugely successful form, PHPacademy, and author and produce content for various other educational sources all over the web. Alex's primary expertise is in web development, but he has also dabbled in Android and iOS. Alex's style is very much compatible with LearnToProrgam's mission: to provide easy-to access technical education for students world wide.

Free Python for Beginners
I searched for a good beginner's book on Python 3 and settled on this title after reading the other glowing reviews. My wife indicated that she wished to learn the basics of Python and I was delighted as I've been dabbling in Python 2 for several years. I received this book last week and my wife immediately began reading. Here are her comments:
***
I'm a retired programmer with experience in Cobol, Clipper, VB.Net, C# and JavaScript. I thought it would be interesting to learn Python. I got into chapter 3 and decided to stop reading it because of the writing and the errors that kept distracting and annoying me. This is NOT a book for learning how to program (IMHO). I kept running into Python code snippets that the author did not explain. Because of my background I could mostly figure out how the snippets worked, but I found the lack of explanation clumsy. These are some of the issues I found:
1. Page 25: The example snippet explaining variables includes a reference to the function type(), but the author does not explain what a function is or that "type()" happens to be a built-in Python function.
2. Page 31: The author explains how to work with a Python "list." For his examples he starts out with lists containing only integers. That's fine, but then writes "We can use the same notation to extract a range of numbers within the list." For this example he then shows a list containing alphabetic characters! I believe this will be very confusing and frustrating to a nooby. He should have written "We can use the same notation to extract a range of elements within the list."
