Hi David, The answer depends. If you are looking for free resources, I would recommend checking out: http://www.greenteapress.com
However, if you are looking for a professional-grade book, then I would recommend "Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner." I, personally speaking, found this book to be an excellent resource -- I would highly recommend it. Byron --- David Stotijn wrote: > Hi, > > I'm planning on buying a book to help me learn Python.
