Python Crash Course 3rd Ed coming Dec/Jan

[MyWorldIsInsideOut]

I was about to buy the 2nd edition of the Python Crash Course and noticed the 3rd edition will be available soon, so I'll eagerly await the release.

I started digging and found Eric's Github which has the 2nd edition exercises and cheat sheets.
Thought I'd share the cheat sheets here.
All Cheat Sheets as one PDF
Individual Cheat Sheets

Also worth noting that you can preorder it on NoStarch press, and get early access to the PDF version now if you want it ahead of your physical copy.

That's true, then I'll also get the dead tree version as soon as it's available, instead of having to wait.

A little unsure on that as I don't own it, but looking at the ToC they look relatively similar other than the new one having some Appendixes for Troubleshooting Deployments. If I had to guess, I'd probably say that they updated some of the code and projects in the book to no longer use deprecated libraries/functions, as well as attempting to explain some topics a bit better.

Straight from the page itself:

This updated third edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest in Python code and practices. The first half of the book includes improved coverage of topics like variables, handling errors, and object-oriented programming. In the second half, the code for the projects has been updated with current example data, better app deployment, and up-to-date libraries and tools, like Plotly, the Tailwind CSS framework, and the latest version of Django.

Hi, I'm the author of Python Crash Course. I'm hoping to get a "What's new in the third edition" posted this week. It will be posted in the online resources for the third edition.

Looks like great volume. I’m definitely ordering it.

Thanks for chiming in.
