Pretty interesting book, definitively worth a read - at least for the self-taught guys like me. Too bad the code examples are of such a low quality. Prepare for a complete rewrite if you planned on using them (M. Segaran, we'd be happy to see you submitting your code for review on comp.lang.py !-)


Now don't take me wrong : it's still one of the very few CS-related books I didn't regret to buy.
