First steps to learn Python

[Milton Ochoa]

Hi Rancher,

I am a Java Lover,

But i would like another programming language, I think that python is a good choise, but really I don know.

Some body can tell me, a basic book to learn python. Or if you think that another language is better to learn first.

Thank you

Oreilly "Learning Python, 4th Edition" is comprehensive guide for Python.
It covers Python 3 too.

Oreilly released "Head First Python".
I wont say a word, "Head First" family is well known.

And dont forget about the python tutorial - you can find a like to it with the python documenation

Headfirst Python is great and includes some stuff on Google's AppEngine as well.

Also, Wesley Chun's excellent "Core Python Programming" is pretty comprehensive.

Other sources of Pythonic wisdom are:

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python - free online Python course

Dive Into Python - free version is a bit out of date but still very useful

Google Python Class - online presentation of their in-house Python classes.

You might also want to explore the Pydev Eclipse plugin for Python.

Finally, I bought Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners for my young nephew but kind of wish I'd kept it for myself, as it looks like a great way to learn Python!
