Description:
Even the best programmers make mistakes, and experienced programmer Mike Pirnat has made his share during 15+ years with Python. Some have been simple and silly; others were embarrassing and downright costly. In this free Python eBook, he dissects some of his most memorable blunders, peeling them back layer-by-layer to reveal just what went wrong.


For example, you could install every third-party package that looks interesting and ends up with a tangled mess where nothing works right. Or you could write a test that manages to break the build. Mike’s done both and so much more.

By avoiding these missteps, you’ll be free to make truly significant mistakes—the ones that advance the art of programming. It's also a good companion for another free Python course from Udemy, Python for Absolute Beginners, which I have recommended to many of my readers for learning Python for free.
