A boring and useless book just to say "we also have a book about Python in our portfolio". The online documentation is far more explicit and more extensive. Even the blog style with screen captures seems a bit ridicule in print.

Not the best book I read on the subject. Definitely not for a beginner...The transitions between the chapters are NOT smooth making for a really steeeep learning curve...
