> Hi I have finished Learning Python 2nd ed. > What to do next? Write code. Lots of code. Think of a project that will need more than a single file so you get practice with modules. Think of a project that can use OOP to practice with objects. Do some text processing, or write a web client to try out regular expressions or HTML parsing.
In other words get some experience under your belt before worrying about advanced coding features etc. > Should I go with Programming Python book or > Python Cookbook Two very different books! Personally I would go for Programming Python because I've never been a fan of cookbook type books. They tend to encourage cut n' paste style reuse where you don't necessarily understand the why. I prefer the wider coverage of PP with lots of "real code". But its a very personal choice, one of my colleaguers loves cookbooks and has one for each of the different languages we use. I do recommend a reference book too, like the Beasley or Martelli books -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
