       | HN's automatic title editing strikes again. The title of this
       | submission should presumably be: "99 Bottles of OOP now available
       | in Python".

         | mangled like this, _edit_ it.

       | 
       | I'm very happy to see it out for Python!

         | Sandi's earlier book, POODR, was also great. While it is
         | focused on Ruby, most of the advice applies more broadly.
         | 
         | Reading these two really helped me understand just how
         | impoverished the concept of OOP has become by C++ and Java,
         | from its Smalltalk roots.

           | anything, but with just enough experience to have encountered
           | the problems she was addressing "in the wild." Absolutely
           | formative for me I have no idea where I'd be without it. The
           | only other book to even approach its impact for me is
           | _working effectively with legacy code_.

       | be sure today.

         | The site says, "Available in digital form only (epub, kepub,
         | mobi, pdf). Includes separate books for JavaScript, PHP,
         | Python, and Ruby languages, and beer and milk beverages."
         | 
         | There is no mention of needing special software to read them,
         | so I think it's safe to guess that there is no DRM. And it's
         | sold directly by the author. Publishers are generally the ones
         | who insist on DRM. It would not surprise me if there was
         | watermarking, but that is not DRM.
