Why read it?
1 author picked Automate the Boring Stuff with Python as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I work with students new to programming I often find they struggle with translating the toy problems in exercises to actually doing something in the real world.
I love this book and frequently recommend it to new programmers because it is centered around problems. Coding should be about making your life easier. At the beginning, the problems are small, but by the end, you’re learning about email, PDFs, and GUIs.
Sweigart has a great voice, and reading this feels like being guided by a friend rather than yet another coding textbook.
From Christopher's list on books for coders shelf.
