Finally... A Python Guide that Doesn't Suck

My dad made me cry learning how to code. With this, you’ll make him cry (with joy). I'll make Python so easy it feels like cheating.

What's Inside This Book

Some things won't do you any good. Say, for example, group projects with deadbeats where you end up doing all of the work. I don't get why they exist, but I digress. Anyway, I'm thrilled to say that my guide offers plenty of benefits:

The funniest Python guide you'll (probably) read

C'mon, let's face it. "Coding" is hardly synonymous with "fun". This is possibly the only guide to Python that you'd actually enjoy reading.

Nine killer chapters, short n' sweet

It won't take long. In just a matter of nanoseconds, you'll know enough to impress your not-so-nerdy friends and family. Sorry, I had to exaggerate.

Authored by your run-of-the-mill kid

I haven't finished high school yet, but my sense of humour is unquestionably beyond that of your 50-year-old CS teacher, who probably got his jokes from a lousy guide on Temu.

An overview to the, quite possibly, sh*ttiest Python topic

That would be Object Oriented Programming, or OOP. I've always racked my brain in a pitiful attempt to figure it out. This is it, handed to you on a porcelain platter - I've done the work so you don't have to!

Starts from ground zero

For you guys out there who don't know jack. No prior knowledge needed - heck, even my six year old cousin gets it and he watches Italian brainrot all day.

Avaliable as a PDF and an EPUB...

...for free! Now, you can spend your money somewhere else, like repaying your long-overdue credit card debt. Well, that escalated quickly.

Who This Book Is For

The answer is: literally anyone, but I've listed the uncommon ones below. Just saying - you won't find specific demographics like these anywhere else.

Bright (but insecure) teens

You'll (finally) have something to prove to people after you've finished reading this guide. Your newfound proficiency in Python, that is!

Cheapskates

Duh. Books are so expensive nowadays. And for something annoying, too: most of it doesn't even go to the author. Anyway, this book is completely free.

Your highly regarded chihuahua

I'm sure your chihuahua is getting tired of the same old walks and games of fetch. Nerdiness incoming: Why not read a PYTHON book to it instead?

Your mom

If she wants to get into the "modern youngster" type of shenanigan. That, or other aspiring moms who want to do a better job teaching their kids Python.

Book Reviews

See what our readers are saying.
"Daphne's clear hatred of OOP is especially evident in chapter 9; it's quite amusing. I also like the epilogue, because it makes me feel accomplished and stuff."

About Yours Truly

Daphne Forde - A kid who enjoys reading, baking mug cakes, cooking scrambled eggs for breakfast, playing Rocket Queen on bass, flexing biceps at the gym, and buying Chobani yoghurt at Woolie's (she's been to Australia twice).

For some reason, she only eats her tomatoes sliced, and prefers orange pyjamas over other colours. Like many others, she's not too fond of socialising/PR/public speaking/crowded areas, and worst of all, icebreakers. Dun dun dun.
