Great way to learn Python with an easy to read book,but
Great book, reads well, but the software which is suppose to be on the companion website, is not at the site referred to in the book. I did find it though at http://www.delmarlearning.com FULL URL BELOW http://www.delmarlearning.com/companions/content/1435455002/downloads/index.asp?isbn=1435455002 I still rate this book Excellent - It is not the author's fault that publishing companies, such as Cengage, did not keep the files available on their site.
