Re: [Tutor] Learning Python from books
Me personally, both Learning Python and Core Python Programming. I am by no means an expert, but both of these books are excellent and were quite helpful. jay On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 1:56 PM, Zameer Manji [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Has anyone here attempted to learn Python from books ?

Re: [Tutor] Learning Python from books
I use the same books - Learning Python and Core Python Programming, 2nd ed. I found I got about halfway through Learning Python before I switched to CPP and had no problems. I also use Python Phrasebook (Brad Dayley, 2007) as a handy reference guide to some common problems as well. Core Python Programming, 2nd ed. (Wesley Chun, 2007) is my most frequent instructional guide, though. On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 9:39 AM, jay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Me personally, both Learning Python and Core Python Programming.

Re: [Tutor] Learning Python from books
Python Programming [for the absolute beginner] by Michael Dawson is-in my humble opinion-a programming pedagogical pacesetter.
