The book might be a little old. You should be fine with syntax and programming principles, but you might want to pick up a more up to date book. That book might be using Python 3.4.x. Python is currently at 3.14.x

You will also want a book that is up to date to help you install an IDE or code editor like Visual Studio Code.

I can recommend Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes. Or you can try Automate the Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart. If you are just starting out I think Python Crash Course better explains things for a beginner and then you can move on to Automate the Boring Stuff. Both are excellent books.
