The book is supposed to make you learn ipython by throwing you into a field course of examples but the explanations are not on the same level in all the examples, some are well documented and easy to read others are a bit too cryptic for a newcomer. Try using this book along with some other books if you are not well versed in the language but keep in mind that the code samples are based on python 2.7, if you want to learn or have a set of language samples/examples using the 3.x branch you should use Cyrille Rossant’s books from the same publisher.
