Nice book, ill organized though. I would suggest that newcomers to Pygame (and possibly Python) read a couple of chapters off of it then throw it away and start with whatever they want to start with; you learn better along the way.
Making Games with Python & Pygame
Making Games with Python & Pygame is a programming book that covers the Pygame game library for the Python programming language. Each chapter gives you the complete source code for a new game and teaches the programming concepts from these examples. The book is available under a Creative Commons license and can be downloaded in full for free from //inventwithpython.com/pygame This book was written to be understandable by kids as young as 10 to 12 years old, although it is great for anyone of any age who has some familiarity with Python.

Într-un an de studenţie hotărâsem să fac un joc, folosind limbajul Python, pentru teza de practică. Fiind familiarizat cu Python şi dornic să învăţ Pygame, am creat un joc 2D. Când eram mai mic, eram fanat de jocuri video şi visam să fiu dezvoltător de jocuri la companii uriaşe. Acum realizez că e foarte greu în industria jocurilor video. Mi-a trecut cheful. A fost dificil un joc 2D de realizat, dar ce să mai vorbim de jocuri AAA. Dezvoltătorii software sunt mai bine plătiţi. M-am confruntat deseori cu neclarităţi asupra rândurilor de cod, nu mereu era bine explicat. 3.5/5
It's very interesting for a beginner like me.
Totally like this book!!!
Fun tour through pygame. Great examples/ walkthroughs. Low entry barrier for novices.
Just what I was looking for to quickly build up my repertoire of functions to drive computer programs.
They give you all the code but they do explain it
Excellent book to start coding games and to learn the basics of game development
