Python literature relevant to QGIS

Question

Python for ArcGIS is a book that I have been looking at. Does anyone know if this would be applicable in QGIS? I am not looking to write application/plugins, simply get better at understanding expression etc. for standard workflow. e.g. queries and data-defined settings.

I'd say barely adequate rather than "great" :-\ – Damien Jan 28 '16 at 06:29

While this book is not specifically QGIS and Python, it was written for open source coding using GDAL and OGR with Python: http://www.packtpub.com/python-geospatial-development/book
