[Lime Street Labrador · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too broad as to lack focus and too deep as to jump into technicality without proper introductions

[Yousuf · Rating 2 out of 5]

My intentions were to know very basics of Ubuntu and some useful usage of command line codes but this book disappointed me. I wanted to know how can I develop tools using Python to solve some Bioinformatics problems but this book lacks very detailed information how can someone develop such tools.
