Actually, lots of things you learned are probably still valid for python 3.
Syntax differ a bit, but you'll be ok if u managed to teach yourself python once !
Gg on that job and good luck for ur project.

Regarding the book, i got no fkin clue, sry

yes just fucking open it amd start going through it. If you spend less time worrying about whether or not you have good learning material, and more time coding, then maybe you wouldn't be such a fuckboy

>>61524005
already am going through it dickcheese

O'riley books are the shit that i use. It's a great books doesn't mater if you are a starter or an advanced programmer. It's relatively easy to study it. Good luck on you projects bro. If you need any help in studying, i'm a python developer, just reply to this comment.

reading the back cover is not "going through it"

Python 3 isn't that different from 2. Biggest things to be aware of are probably:
1.

print()

is a function now, so you need those brackets
2. Unicode strings by default, so

len("ü")

is now 1, not 2. There is a new bytes type that is like the old str, the new str is like the old

unicode

3. Certain functions like filter and reduce have been moved to a library
4. Some functions that used to return lists, like range(…), map(…), etc now return a generator instead. You can wrap it in a list(…) call if you want a list

As for books, stay the FUCK away from Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way. That book is actively harmful, outright wrong, and it should simply never have been written. Instead, Think Python is a pretty good choice in my opinion.

Zed Shaw is a fucking hack.

i am reading it, PROMISE!!!
The whole first chapter of this book is literally "Why should you learn python"

>>61524128
maybe i didn't stress how much of a begginer i am. The only "programs" or "scripts" or whatever i could make where basically, computer prompts for something, and i use like a loop or something to print out a text chart for how to properly pull the correct amount of meat out of the freezer at work lol.

The book mentions Unicode strings or whatever, and i've completely no idea what that be. I was hoping for recommending reading material that would explain, like 'concepts' or something. Like, i get the input output part, its when you start doing 'data types' and how they're stored in memory differently i don't get. And how they act differently. Like, trying to understand what an "object" is, in oop.

Uh yesh plox. see above, how do learn terminology and conceptualization plz, danke schoen!

I have the book. I have the second volume 'Fluent Python' as well. the first several hundred pages of your book are pretty boring

>>61524128
I dont know python but wanted to learn python and the learn python the hard way seemed pretty good as it taught you how to do practical shit like a website.

Is there anything related? The Think Python isnt very good in that aspect.

>>61522439
It's a good book. They use it for my college's intro CS course, but we use Python 2.
