Vernon Cedar, an experienced teacher of Python at the Canterbury School in Fort Wayne, Indiana and a vociferous proponent of the Python Language has done a superb job of updating an excellent text for the Python 3.0 Language and Programming Environment. Many texts slowly handhold a beginner to establish proficiency in their first programming language, others provide an exhaustive (and EXHAUSTING) reference for all the features of a language definition. This excellent and efficient text provides a rapid path to Python 3.0 proficiency for the programmer who has had exposure to at least one other modern programming language. It gives a rapid overview of the basic language features and programming environment to access its integration with the operating system, graphics libraries, regular expressions and other needed tools, all of this while respecting the needs talents and time limitations of the experienced programmer. It provides the most efficient path to the current version of Python for a Professional Programmer or Experienced Amateur while avoiding unnecessary details and laborious tutorials directed at the neophyte. I would recommend this book highly to anyone who like myself has had exposure to several programming languages and who wishes to rapidly come up to speed with this batteries-included latest programming environment. --Ira Laefsky MSE/MBA IT Consultant Formerly Senior Consultant with Arthur D.
