Jumia Books A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python Book by Hans Petter Langtangen

The book's title says it all. While this is a primer, it is not one where the reader is expected to read a hundred page project which is being used as an example. That type of book (e.g. Lippman's C++ Primer, 3rd ed.) never leaves my bookshelf. The concepts are explained with nicely sized examples. It is still serving me well as a reference.

There are many interesting exercises for every chapter. I appreciated this. I find it hard to learn a language without writing some code and this gave me something non trivial to write.

Python is now often my first choice for a task. Still love C++ though.
