Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, 2nd Edition: Practical Programming for Total Beginners Review: My sixth book from No Starch Press, not disappointed. - I have six books from this company now, three on Linux and three on Python. All are excellent additions to any library. The material they present continues to be easy to understand with every new book I buy from them. Coding is NOT easy, there's a lot of stuff to learn and tons that you've got to commit to memory. These books make the process enjoyable, and they use practical examples that make it a lot easier to understand things like the flow of logic within statements. Allow me to give a little context: I started with computers in the 80's when I was a kid. BASIC was all I had access to, fun, but not a great start. My first PC came along and I learned DOS, despite the mostly crappy documentation. Linux came along at the end of the 90's and, while it was a great OS back then, documentation held it back on the desktop. Best I could do was get it to boot, so Windows was the only choice for a couple decades. Flash forward to the present, and I've ditched Windows completely, picked up a couple books (I don't yet own a book on Linux NOT published by No Starch) and I do better now with Linux than I ever did with Windows. Linux documentation quality is also light-years beyond what it was in the 90's, too. I spent a month on Mint and went straight to Arch. Things have changed THAT much. Review: Excellent book for novices trying to learn python - The author does a great job of presenting the python language in an easy to read and approchable manner. I am really enjoying this book and have learned a lot. Before starting this book I knew nearly nothing about python and programming, but this book has helped to supplement my knowledge. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #72,114 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #27 in Introductory & Beginning Programming #41 in Python Programming #50 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,470) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.25 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1593279922 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1593279929 | | Item Weight | 2.43 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 592 pages | | Publication date | November 12, 2019 | | Publisher | No Starch Press | ## Images ![Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, 2nd Edition: Practical Programming for Total Beginners - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uEI89mcpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My sixth book from No Starch Press, not disappointed. *by D***R on May 11, 2021* I have six books from this company now, three on Linux and three on Python.

I am really enjoying this book and have learned a lot. Before starting this book I knew nearly nothing about python and programming, but this book has helped to supplement my knowledge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome book for Python! *by D***N on February 27, 2021* This is great. I don't know if it would be great for an absolute beginner. I took a Coursera course on Python called Python For Everybody. That was a fantastic beginner course for total newbies. This was my follow-up. This covers a lot of ground and I was totally impressed and found it very fun and educational. I like the combination of practice projects during the chapter, followed by questions to answer at the end of each chapter and some more projects at the end of the chapter. Totally lays a great foundation for each topic. I think some of the Python packages are out of date though or there are some code errors. I had to find workarounds on Stack Overflow. Overall, I loved this book!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, 2nd Edition: Practical Programming for Total Beginners - Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming - Python Programming Language QuickStudy Laminated Reference Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/158205488-automate-the-boring-stuff-with-python-2nd-edition-practical-programming](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/158205488-automate-the-boring-stuff-with-python-2nd-edition-practical-programming) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
