Head First Python or Head First Programming should fit the bill nicely -- both books deal with Python, but in slightly different approaches. Head First Python is much more focused on web applications and mobile devices, where Head First Programming is more focused on building Graphical interfaces (although simplified greatly). I would recommend Head First Python over Programming, because Programming leaves out classes (for one), and your stated background makes it sound like you'll have more use, overall, from Head First Python. There are other books out there, obviously, but Head First Python is the best one I've come across. -- best regards, Robert S. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
