Author Reacts to Bad and Great Books: Illustrated Guide to Python 3
In this video I critique Matt Harrison's "Illustrated Guide to Python 3", a self-published book. I learned a lot from Matt years ago, so I had to fight my bias to give an honest review. So while I give two thumbs up I did have several things to criticize. Watch the video for all the details!

Matt is also a professional Python and Data instructor. He taught me a lot and I can vouch for his ability to get across complex topics in an approachable way. Find his courses in the links below:

I was not paid or sponsored by Matt Harrison to produce this video, although he did provide the review copy.
If you are an author or publisher want me react to your Python or JavaScript book, please get in touch with me on LinkedIn.
