I just got a project on my desk I need the most objectively superior,

Which languages, if any, do you know already?

>>61430811
Why is your job giving you Python work when you don't know Python? Lie on the resume OP?

>>61430842
Just minimal HTML stuff, I'm more hands on type fixing printers and and Computers but that's about all.

>>61430859
not exactly... but close.. I'm the only 'computer dude' in here anyways.

Most people tell me https://learnpythonthehardway.org/ but I found it a bit too rudimentary for my tastes,but it probably is the best for beginners.

Also
Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional is a pretty good book but once again too basic.

You should lurk more on Quora and https://www.fullstackpython.com/best-python-resources.html despite them having more subjective preferences

I am interested in learning python myself. I have no programming or coding knowledge. How long does it take to have working knowledge of it, and can you get hired for just knowing python?

Python 3 Cookbook

is pretty neat

Seconded learnpythonthehardway.

Since OP kind of misrepresented his skills and needs to perform in probably less than a week, we need to assume he barely knows what a command prompt is, otherwise he would have already learned it on his own.

Let this be a lesson: If you lie your way into a job, do NOT rest on your laurels once you get the job. Learn what you said you knew.

t. got first developer job with zero real experience and a bullshit certification

Automate the boring stuff, and Learn Python the Hard Way really helped me learn

Just read that and you will know the language.

Stay away from learn python the hard way. The author is an anti-python3 troll and the book isn't that good in the first place.

This is a goldmine guys, I should've just asked here instead of wasting 2 hours on useless research. I'll try to blitzkrieg through Python as I absolutely must get a grip on Deep machine learning and Tensorflow next month.

forgot to say thanks, thanks.

When will the divide between python3 and python2 subside, or outright dissapear?

And will using one fuck me over the other?

>>61431206
Do you also need some resources on deep learning stuff?
>>61431262
It will probably be a long time if ever. They are essentially like different languages.
