From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Support Alot of this book is written in the first person, which threw me off at first. Then I remembered: This is wikibooks, and we encourage authors to present information in non-traditional ways. Even though the author speaks from a first-person perspective throughout, i feel that it's a very helpful book that is easily approachable for a new user. Many books claim to be "...for beginners", but this book actually delivers. I like it. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 01:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Support Many books labelled for beginners simply aren't for beginners. This one is. Good on it.

- Support - Python is a language commonly used in introductory computer science classes and this could definitely be quite helpful for some visitors to the site. -withinfocus 16:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - This is really good. I think it helps users in a nice step by step way. It really is for people first learning to program. -User:TBOL3TBOL3 12:13, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - I think the first-person helps, especially as it's targeted towards non-programmers. It's certainly easy to understand; it's been a long time since I've done any programming, and I've never dealt with Python, and I found it very easy to follow. Organizational structure could be revamped though. – Mike.lifeguard | talk 01:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I've no problem with the first person usage but this book's language confuses me. I also think we need to limit the number of techie books we advertise as 'featured'. Wikibooks has lots of these books already. Xania

Done Despite my own opposition, the community seems to agree that this should be a featured book. I'll make the changes if I can figure out how or someone can tell me how to add a book to the featured books list... Xania talk 19:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
