Preface

When I began studying Python, I was impressed by how simple coding was and how easy it was to get started writing basic programs. I tried several development environments, and in all cases, I was able to get simple programs running in moments.

The Python syntax was simple, and there were no brackets or semicolons to remember. Other than remembering to use the Tab key (to generate those four-space indentations), coding in Python was easy.

But it was only after I played with Python for a few weeks that I began to see how sophisticated the language really is and how much you can really do with it. Python is a fully object-oriented language, making it easy to create classes that hold their own data without a lot of syntactic fussing.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
