Hi Adam, im loving your book and learning a lot from it. Thank you for it.
Just a quick remark i've found is that i'm reading it in kindle on ipad.
And came across a few issues regarding code formating.
i.e: the ";" used to symbol the end of line is confusing sometimes. I'm
on the __str__ and __repr__ part of the book and the sample code doesnt
work for me. for instance i dont know when the code is inside the class
or outside since there is only ";" in the end of each line.
example:
"19. Execute the following lines to add a __repr__() method to the Human
class."
...
i understand that all the code beneath this is "all" to go inside the
class declaration.
This way doesnt work for me. when i try to put some code outside it
works but not always so i get confused.
Just a suggestion: why not use bitmaps/images to example code? that way
it would be easier to read/write/understand.
Hope you don't mind i put a portion of the code i am using here:
import maya.cmds as cmds
class Human(object):
def __init__(self,**kwargs):
self.first_name=kwargs.setdefault('first')
self.last_name=kwargs.setdefault('last')
self.height=kwargs.setdefault('height')
self.weight=kwargs.setdefault('weight')
def bmi(self):
return self.weight/float(self.height)**2
def human_rep(self):
return """Human(%s =%s, %s =%s)"""%(first,first_name,last,last_name)
Human.__rep__= human_rep
sis = Human(first='Ruth',last='miranda')
baby_sis = Human(first='Emily', last='miranda')
print (sis,baby_sis)
all i get is:
(<__main__.Human object at 0x95ece50>, <__main__.Human object at 0x95ecf90>)
Thanks again for writing this book.
Best regards
Ricardo Viana

Thanks for the feedback, folks! I'm glad to know some of you have
already found it helpful.
Arthur: I unfortunately have no idea what all formats and retailers
they are selling it through (it has been pretty "first to go, last to
know" on my end). I actually don't see any Elsevier books on iBooks
though, so they may not even sell there at all :(
