Learn Python 3 the Hard Way by Shaw is the perfect guide for beginners who are ready to take their knowledge to the next level, whether they're a beginner or an advanced Pythonista. With this book, you'll learn not just how to code in Python, but also how to design it as well. It isn't just about finding the right programs to use, but about using them correctly. And because everyone's learning different things, this book gives you a practical look at each topic that you can relate to and use in your own projects.

One thing that makes Learn Python 3 the Hard Way by Shaw stand out is the mentoring that is present throughout the book. Starting off, Shaw guides you through the basics of object-oriented programming, what each object actually does, and how they interact with one another. He explains the sort of problems you can expect when writing a program, and even goes so far as to say that loops in Python may be the most difficult to understand. Then he teaches you how to properly decorate the output and input of a Python program. Finally, he shows you how to construct your own functions and classes, along with how to use lists, dictionaries, and modules. If you're familiar with programming in C, he also gives you the tools for working with that language as well.
Once you've learned the basics, Shaw shows you how to customize your programs with additional features. For example, he creates a very simple directory structure for those who are more familiar with Python and then walks you through creating a very simple but functional application. He even provides a number of sample programs so that you can get a feel for what he's talking about. The beauty of this book is that he walks you through each step of the process, so that you can learn Python the hard way, which is exactly what you should do if you really want to get the best results from your programming experience. As I mentioned, this book shows you how to learn Python the hard way, but if you've never worked with Python before, you might be better off just copying the information and using it in an appropriate application instead.
