Book (and tutorial) choices are very subjective. I know the styles of book I like and dislike. I hate "chatty, informal" style text books, I like precision. I hate books that try to teach by example, I prefer direct instruction followed by short pointed examples - I can invent long examples by myself!. But I know plenty people who prefer the exact opposite. My own book follows my taste, which is almost exactly opposite to Dawson's. Each will suit a different audience. But contrarily I should like the Dietel's "How to Program" and don't and I should dislike Lutz' Programming Python but don't! :-) -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site Temorarily at: http://uk.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ Normally: http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
