Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.

Excellent for someone who has never programmed before

Not very useful for someone familiar with programming, unless he wanted to learn Python...
