It’s not in the wiki and I’m actually interested in buying it. Anyone recommends it? I want to learn python as a hobby of mine.

I've got to say, this is hands down the most awesome book ever. Before deciding to pick up this book, I was stuck in a tutorial hell for 2 years!! I would watch videos, give up, come back, give up again without any practice whatsoever and just watch those tutorials like a movie without learning anything from them.

As I progressed with this book, I made notes of the concepts I'd learn from the book in Jupyter notebook and wrote code alongside. Then I started playing around with it and that is when things finally started clicking for me. The book does an excellent job at explaining all the essential concepts. It's super simple and the examples are amazing as well as relevant from a practical standpoint. If you are also struggling to start and/or stuck in a tutorial hell, I would cent percent recommend picking up this book as your very first reference. Trust me, you'll thank me later. The key to learning how to code is to actually write code and play with it and the book makes you do exactly that.

I have read the book until the File I/O section so basically I've completed the basics but I feel it's not enough and I should pick up another reference to further strengthen my basics and some more. I am studying python to be a data scientist and was thinking of moving to the book 'Python for Data Analysis ' by W. McKinney but I'm kinda unsure.

So, should I start reading Python for Data Analysis or should I read another book on Python after PCC to be thorough with the basics and be familiar with more advanced stuff? If yes, then what is the best book to read after PCC? Thanks in advance :)
