The book "Python for Science and Technology" is out!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve just released the book “Python para Ciencia y Tecnología”, complete, in Spanish, and totally free! :heart_eyes::blue_book:

This book is aimed at those working in research, education, or technological development, and its goal is to bring Python closer to the scientific world.

Throughout its pages, you’ll find a journey that goes from the language basics to real-world applications, showing how Python can be much more than just a programming language, it’s a versatile tool for solving real problems.

Written by Facundo Batista and Manuel Carlevaro, with a foreword by Pablo Galindo Salgado.

:floppy_disk: You can download the PDF from its official website

Nicely polished. The Spanish is clear enough that I can pretty much read it. (I has been decades since I studied Spanish and random things I have looked at are usually harder.) I picked the Sympy chapter to test since I have never read any sympy doc.

Thank you!!

Hello, is it available in english as well?

No, sorry, only in Spanish.

Any plans to create a community based translation effort? I mean, anyone could start one, given it’s CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, but maybe a project blessed by the authors would get more traction.

The free Portuguese version of Fluent Python 2nd edition, licensed as CC BY-NC-ND, had a professional translator, but readers filed issues and PRs to improve it.

And now Python Fluente 2 will have a paper edition.

I hope Python para Ciencia y Tecnología is a huge success and gets more versions published.

We’re considering some translation, still not defined how/when/by whom…
