"I first started really using Python about 5 or 6 years ago when I undertook a MSc in Analytics. Once I’d completed my Masters I let my new Python skills slowly deteriorate through lack of use and this bothered me. When I discovered PyBites nearly two years ago I found a medium through which I could once again immerse myself in Python. I loved the targeted nature of the exercises and how you were encouraged to go and learn about parts of the Python Standard Library that you may not have been aware of. So when I heard that Bob and Julian were bringing out a book I knew that it would be a must have read, and I wasn't disappointed. The book is packed over 150 tips of Python wisdom, and growing, where each tip can be consumed and understood in a matter of minutes. Each Pythonic nugget gives clear and concise example code and also links to resources where you can go deeper if you want further explanation of the concepts. The tips show you the libraries and patterns you should be using in your everyday Python use and is also a great reference for when you know the command that you want to use but can’t quite remember the right syntax. Now you’ll be able to quickly refer back to your go to solution again and again and again. Congratulation to Bob and Julian on the release of this book which continues their great work promoting Python to an ever increasing audience." - David C
