Best Chapter: Performance Tuning
However, this chapter is not really about how to improve performance. It does tell few things related to a simple program, but if someone is really worried about performance, this chapter is a misnomer.
I liked this chapter, because it pervasivly depicts the idea of avoiding performance tuning while development. While it is a known advise, "first working code, then performance"; this chapter can teach the software development in a very interactive way, the same lesson.
On a footnote, this is very well written online book. The layout of book ideally matches an online experience. I read this book back to back in 10 days. I wish there were more chapters I could read (a feeling I used to get, when I used to finish reading comics book as a kid and wished the comic was longer).
Anyway, if you want to explore a different language and python is your choice, Please, do start with this book.
