Re: Good starterbook for learning Python?
Before buying a book, I suggest starting out with at least one of these beginners tutorials available in internet: - Non-Programmers Tutorial For Python by Josh Cogliati (honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/) - A Byte of Python by Swaroop CH (www.byteofpython.info) There are many others, but these ones are very good. The first one is best for someone who knows nothing about programing, and the second one is probably better for you, since you already have some experience. It's good for absolute beginners though. Books: - Learning Python by Mark Lutz - Core Python by Wesley Chun Regards, Luis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I've downloaded the book "dive into python".

Re: Good starterbook for learning Python?
hi, although Dive into Python is a *very, very* good Python book (I own the "real" book) I would not recommend it as your first book to learn Python. Take a look at Practical Python by Hetland first for instance, it will teach you all the basic stuff. Then move over to Dive into Python and also consider the Python Cookbook next to Dive into Python. (on the other hand, since you can download Dive into Python you can try if it works for you) Bye, DimitriOn 7/5/05, Sybren Stuvel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Lennart enlightened us with:> Can someone advice me with the following issue: i want to learn > python in my summer vacation (i try to ...:-) So, a good start is> buying a good book.
