I liked it. Was fine. Was only book before I got my job. But I did alot of projects on my own.

>>61130926
Try Python Crash Course.

haven't read it, but I'm guessing that the Introduction to Computation and Programming Using Python for the MIT class should be a fair pick

>>61131135
just checked its TOC
should be a damned good book
python 2.7 though

>>61130926
The author is an absolute retard who claimed that Python wasn't turing complete and shat on Python 3 because he's completely misinformed.

You'll notice that the LPTHW recommendation has been removed from every up-to-date Python learning site

>>61130926
No, author is a faggot.

Do not learn Python.
It's cancer

>python
>hard

'Think Python, How to Think Like a Computer Scientist' is much better

Zed Shaw took advantage of his 15 minutes of fame as a speaker at software conferences by writing a shit series of 'programming books' that do nothing but show print statements and say 'hey, look at that!'. And Zed went on every social networking site and shilled his book constantly and successfully memed his books into being something that people like. Anyone who reads his books deserve to have their time wasted and intelligence lowered into thinking they are programming
