Review: Aptly Named, Fluent Python - As the title and description suggest, this book truly is to achieve 'fluency' in Python. It touches on nearly every point of the language that is pythonic, describing not just the how and the what, but the why. This book is definitely not a good beginner book for Python (however, someone extremely well versed in Java or C++ could probably benefit from it, if they relied on more basic information from alternative sources), but I wouldn't say it's only for expert users. This book touches on a very wide selection of subjects, from some pretty common Python concepts, like Duck Typing, generators, and function and class decorators to more advanced subjects like abstract base classes, multiple inheritance, mixins, and meta programming. The prose is easy to read and even entertaining. It may be the first programming book I read for enjoyment, and not just reference. Luciano demonstrates that he truly is fluent in Python, and while probably 25% of the chapters were not on any subject that is useful to me, all of them yielded new information and helpful hints, and even tips and tricks to increase performance or readability of the code. I would think that, given the wide range of topics, at least 30% of the book will be extremely helpful to your specific use case, regardless of what that is.
Review: Excellent Resource. Well written. - I am an engineer who decided to learn how to code on my own. I experimented with a bunch of different languages but fell in love with Python. I now use Python for personal projects. I was watching a YouTube video where Gina Häußge (creator of octoprint) recommended it and attributed her work to things learned in the book. So I bought it hoping to better my skills. I read this book in chapter chunks, as there is a TON of information to gain from this book. I love the structure that Ramalho uses. He provides well written descriptions and explanations for each topic(something I cannot say for most textbooks). On top of that, he provides relevant code examples for almost everything he covers. Even better, he has step-by-step explanations for the code examples that follow the execution flow. This makes it much easier to understand if you have difficulty grasping the concept at first. Aside from coding the examples yourself, this is top notch for learning skills from text. For me, I was reading this book while working on a medium sized Python project. Even though I was not searching for anything specific in this book, the more I read, the more I found ways where I could implement his teachings into my project. Ramalho includes a section at the end of each chapter to offer his opinion on said topic. As a younger programmer, I appreciated the opinion from a professional and clearly well respected member of the Python community. If you write Python and want to gain a better understanding of the language (and perhaps found the Python docs hard to read like me), this book is for you. If you do give it a read, I hope you like it as much as I did. Thanks Luciano, excellent work!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent writing and explanations make this the best Python book I have found so far
*by W***S on January 2, 2016*

Fluent Python is a great book and Luciano Ramalho is an excellent author. Ramalho has a casual writing style which makes it feel like you are not reading a programming book. At the end of each chapter he has a section called "Further Reading" and "Soapbox". Further reading contains tons of relevant references and links. Soapbox provides lots of valuable information about the language you would not find in other books. An example is in one "Soapbox" he explains how Python is competing with Ruby and Javascript for being a general purpose dynamic language. He also mentions Go and Elixir are languages that could be a threat to Python in the future, and explains why. These high level explanations filled in a lot of knowledge gaps I had on how Python compares with other languages. The book is for intermediate to advanced users. He dives into the details of the CPython implementation; that's exactly what I was looking for. Buy this book if you want to take your Python programming to the next level.
