Hi Dorlee,

Are you reading the paperback or kindle edition?

Your book is great, but there is always errors running the example codes. You might want to try running the codes again and update your book.

Cory,

Great book, but an example of what Dorlee is referring to can be found here: # http:// tinyurl.com/ jjettn2

I am using the Kindle Edition of your book, and the output of this code is:

>> x is not None
>> x is None

whereas the book reports the output as:

>> x is not None
>> x is None :(           <---- Here is the error

There are others and I consider them challenges you throw at us to ensure we are picking up the material. =)

Programming can help you in a variety of ways - to name a few, you can use it to:

1. automate repetitive office tasks
2. keep time
3. launch programs
4. send e-mail and text messages on your behalf
5. schedule tasks
6. manipulate images
7. web scraping (search a site for keywords)
8. read from, write to, rename or organize multiple files
9. work with different file formats (.xlsx, .xjl, .json, .pdf, etc.)
10. or my personal favorite, create a cool project (search for Raspberry Pi Projects online).

I hope you stick with it because like with all things - if you don't use it, you lose it.
