Most of us try to learn by reading a book from beginning to end. But using that approach with this book will put you in information overload. I suggest you start at the beginning, and when your sponge starts getting full, skip to a chapter that really interests you, such as the photo viewer, slide show, digital clock, text editor, etc.
Along the way, you will need to refer back to the sections you skipped. (Earlier you learned the author's style and way of presenting concepts.) But now, you are on a mission to research specific information you bypassed. Suddenly, the details you were trudging through become meaningful and interesting because you are digging through them with a purpose - to help you understand one of the advanced topics. This approach will help you overcome the information overload you will get from trying to sequentially plod through the tremendous amount of detail in the early chapters...
After building a couple of the examples, most of us will "cookbook" the exercises to change and create something similar, but altered for our purposes. And what do you do when your modified code doesn't work, and you can't figure out why? That's when the real power of this book becomes evident. You can refer back to the details behind the area causing a problem. The huge amount of "what ifs, insights and details will provide the help you need to figure out how to fix your code. That doesn't happen with books a fourth the size of this one.
The information is very detailed, and accurate. The author knows what he is talking about. And yes, he could have used arbitrary variable names such as a, b, c, Daffy, Donald, Mickey, Goofy and x, y, z, but he used spam and eggs instead. Get over it folks, and welcome to Python.
