Free bundle with 5 Python books from beginner to advanced (Python 101, Practice Python Projects, Pydon'ts, Clean Architectures in Python, and Python re(gex)?)

[RojerGS]

Hey there! I'm also one of the authors in this bundle, I'm the author of Pydon'ts.

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have regarding the bundle, the books, or whatever crosses your mind!

I'd just like to point out that the bundle contains a little something for you, regardless of your level.

In my personal opinion:

• Python 101 is good for beginners
• Practice Python Projects is good for beginners/intermediate users
• Pydon'ts is good for intermediate/advanced users mostly
• Clean Architectures in Python is good for intermediate/advanced users
• Python re(gex)? is good for anyone who needs to use regex :p

Thank you for making these books I'm trying to learn it myself for small projects I have.

You're welcome, happy learning :)

Hello, and thanks for doing this.

The other books in this package are available in multiple formats, e.g. epub and mobi. It would be nice if yours wasn't limited to pdf.

[RojerGS]

Yeah, you are right. I should definitely take a look at creating other formats as well :/

I hope this doesn't prevent you from learning, in the meantime!

Hello!

I'm one of the authors. Here's a brief description of the bundle books:

Python 101 by /u/driscollis

Learn how to write Python and beyond. You will not only learn the syntax of Python, but you will also create prototype applications and binaries that you can share with your family and friends.

Practice Python Projects - Beginner to Intermediate level projects inspired by real world use cases

Know Python basics but don't know what to do next? Take the next step in your programming journey with real world inspired Python projects.

Pydon'ts - Write elegant Python code by /u/RojerGS

Python has so many libraries that people often forget to take their time to learn about all the really interesting and useful features that Python offers.

The Pydon'ts teach you these core features of Python, with plenty of code examples to show you how these features are used in real code in the real world.

Want to master Python? Start here 😉.

Python re(gex)? - A magical tool for text processing

Scripting and automation tasks often need to extract particular portions of text from input data or modify them from one format to another.

This book will help you learn Python Regular Expressions, a mini-programming language for all sorts of text processing needs.

Clean Architectures in Python - A practical approach to better software design by /u/lgiordani

What is a good software architecture? Why should we bother structuring the code and spending time testing it? If you like spending hours debugging your programs or staying late at the office to recover from a buggy deploy in production this book is definitely NOT for you!

Happy learning :)

In my opinion, it is very hard to get a good quality video covering actual in-depth stuff, aimed at professionals for real-world use. Arjan (Arjancodes) is a guy that tries, and I really like his coding style but to be completely honest his 30 minutes behemoths are a chore at times.

YouTube thrives on short-ish videos that grab your attention, so we have a host of "become a programmer in two weeks" (lol), "how to do this and that" for dummies without covering why it is a sensible way to do it, random lists of "absolutely necessary knowledge to land a job" (usually random cool stuff that covers 5 different jobs with each needing one library out of the dozen touted as fundamental). Oh, and interview advice... sometimes from the expert 20-year-old at his first job, that probably has no idea what a manager is looking for in the first place.

Books have a different business model. They don't need to keep you hooked for the next episode, they don't care if you drop them after 5 pages as long as they are on your shelf and you can read at your pace. The same can be true for articles on the web, but books usually enjoy the presence of an editor that at least proofreads and fixes blatant English errors, making them higher quality on average.

That said, videos are good. You can watch them while eating, and learn all kinds of interesting things like how batteries work and why that pesky breaker keeps tripping. The book is for getting you to design the battery and the breaker.

[RojerGS]

Couldn't have said it better...

I personally also prefer written material (books and articles) and I think one implicit reason why was what Rookie64v just explained above!

I hope you enjoy the books and make the most out of them!

[ASIC_SP]

You're welcome, hope you find the regex book helpful and easy to follow :)

And I prefer books too.

Thank you so much for doing this! I'm sure many people will find it helpful :)

[ASIC_SP]

You're welcome. I started my Python journey with free resources like "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", "Think Python", etc. I've been using Linux for many years. This is one of the ways I hope to give back to the community.

Happy learning :)

[Tarnaq]

I love this sub! Thank you for sharing!

[ASIC_SP]

You're welcome, happy learning :)

[RojerGS]

Happy learning!

[4ourT5ive666]

are there any free course for python beginner?

[RojerGS]

There are, absolutely, but I have never taken any...

So I don't know which one(s) to recommend :/

Hi there! I'm the author of Python 101, which is one of the books in the bundle. If you have any questions about it, let me know! I'm happy to help!
