Disclaimer: I received a free review copy of this book. The book links are affiliate links; I get a small amount from any purchase you make through them. Grok is a Python web framework, built on top of the Zope Toolkit, which is the core of what used to be called Zope 3 and is now rebranded as BlueBream. Confused yet? Get used to it: the small pluggable components are the heart and soul of ZTK, and the source of its flexibility.

I've been testing (as well as writing) Python code for the last eight years, so a book with the words Begginer's Guide prominently displayed on the cover isn't something I'd've decided to buy for myself. Nevertheless I jumped at the offer of receiving a free e-copy for reviewing it. Short summary: it's good book. I learned a thing or two from it. I don't know well it would work as an introductionary text for someone new to unit testing (or Python).

It's been a while since the last Expert Python Programming review on Planet Python. Y'all might've forgotten about this book by now. Time for a reminder? (Actually, I'm just lazy busy, and this is why this review hasn't appeared sooner.) I received a free PDF copy of this book from Packt Publishing, with the understanding that I'll post a review on my blog. This is it. Short summary: it is a good book marred by a lot of mostly inconsequential little mistakes.
