Hi Hoffman,

I'd suggest Dive into Python which you can also find it on-line.  The
printed version is here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D1590593561/002-9100626-6616001

The best book I know is Core Python by Wesley Chun.  But it only
covers 1.6 so quite a few things have changed since then.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130260363/qid=1112776154/sr=1-20/ref=sr_1_20/002-9100626-6616001?v=glances=books

Best of luck,

Steve

Dear All,

I would like to thank all of you that kindly, answered
my question regarding good Python books to start. As I
told you guys before, I am a newbie and I decided to
start studying Python, that seems to be a nice
programming language. That was my first post in this
group, and I appreciated your hints. Well, I will
follow your hints...
See you later,
Hoffmann

Re: [Tutor] What is the best book to start?

2005-04-01 Thread Alan Gauld
 I am starting to studying Python. I have some previous
 experience with C (beginner level).

Probably the standard tutorial on the web site is the best
place for you to start.

 Learning Python by Lutz  Ascher,

And this is very good supporting material.

 Python How to Program by Deitel and others.

And this is particularly good as an intro into the wider areas
such as PyGame, XML/HTML GUIs and Network programming. The early
chapters are done better IMHO by Lutz, aand the official tutor.

Your next purchase should be either or both of:

Python in a Nutshell - a great 'pocket' reference and
Python Programming on Win32 - but only if you are using Windows of
course!

You have more than enough beginner material already.

Alan G.

Hi All,

I am starting to studying Python. I have some previous
experience with C (beginner level). Could, anyone,
please, suggest a good Python book? I have both
Learning Python by Lutz  Ascher, and Python How to
Program by Deitel and others. Are those good books?
Thanks.

I can only comment on what I know and I have the O'Reilly Python series 
which begins with the Learning Python book you have (if you have the 
2nd ed.).  Just getting started with Python myself.  The first book has 
gone quite fast, but then I'm a retired software engineer.  Even so, I 
think it would be very good for someone with limited programming 
experience.

Now get your nose back in that book :~)

I have only the former, and am totally happy with it. Very clear and 
well put book. A great investment.
