I'm trying to (gently) convince my business partner that we should be
adding Python to our core toolset. He's never used it before, apart
from poking around in the tutorial a bit at my urging. But he's got a
birthday coming up, and I'd like to get him a book that will help him
make the transition more smoothly and enjoyably.
In case it matters: his background is mainly in databases (originally
4D, more recently MySQL), and his current primary tools are REALbasic
(which is a statically typed language with semantics similar to Java)
and PHP. He's primarily a Mac user, but occasionally has to dabble in
Linux or Windows. If we do make this change, he'll be using Python in
a professional capacity to develop commercial apps.
There are a lot of Python books out there... which one would you
recommend in this case?
Thanks,
- Joe
