Free copies of Intermediate Python
11 points by c4obi on July 16, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 10 comments
Intermediate Python is free on leanpub: For just tonight my first ebook on leanpub is free. If you do download it, endeavour to please leave some feedback. Link is https://leanpub.com/intermediatepython


Some feedback - I had a quick skim through the pdf version of the book. I don't know to what extent the generation of the pdf is in your hands.

Page 12: 'function definitioin'. Page 19: Opportunity for introducing 'with' statement. Page 28: 'Python doesnâ€TMt', amusingly in a paragraph discussing character encoding. Page 31: Broken table. Page 38: 'frame —'. Page 52: 'Hey I dont see' - opportunity for escaped apostrophe.


Cheers for pointing those out


Is is over?

Suggestion: put a link to your book - as long as there's a free readable version to read online - on http://hackershelf.com.


And also on - http://hackr.io


unfortunately it is over now. will keep that link and definitely use it at the give away just before the final release


Worked for me. Thank you! I'll post some feedback, after I read it of course. :)


Described at 40% complete and the transaction would not complete at $0.00 on Leanpub.


It's not an intuitive interface, but it works -- use the slider to slide the price downward to zero. It's a variable-pricing model with varying payout to the author.

(I'm not criticizing the pricing model, I'm just saying the free-purchase method wasn't obvious to me, either, at first.)

I bet you'd get more ultimate conversions if you stated that full-price purchasers would be granted the full book upon completion (and correction/minor update versions as well).


that may be a leanpub one off error


Thank You! I'll leave feedback once I finish!
