- gnuvince, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8This book is an excellent way for people who know how to program to quickly become productive in Python. Highly recommended.
- thasmadawg, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3Hisssss
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4i went through a couple chapters of it last weekend.. not bad, but it seemed like it could be a little more productive
maybe it was my attention span, though.. i lost interest and looked up some Python bindings for OpenGL and tinkered with that until it was time to go to work monday morning - newbill123, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Just to be clear, the book is very good, but don't think from the title that it's for Python beginners. Mark Pilgrim's in-depth tech topics are generally titled "Dive Into _X_". It's supposed to imply depth, not submersing yourself for the first time.
- spyres, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Something a little bit more noob friendly.
http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/- lordelric, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is an excellent tutorial. I would recommend it to anyone, except for absolute beginners to computers in general
- benjaminzsj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yes, it's a good guide but it's been out for years and I think anyone starting with Python is familiar with this book, actually you can first take a look at the Python official site which has several guides for you, including this one.
- HsoKinees, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1i thought all eBooks were free? ;) well, they are for me :D
- lutzlstein, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I've been reading Byte of Python off and on. It's a good book for n00bs and just as free as anything else in an internets. Also, it's Wikimedia so it is easy to navigate.
http://swaroopch.info/text/Byte_of_Python:Main_Page - hostilefreak, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1We get Python/Ruby books and articles ever day or so. By now every digger should be an expert, so stop digging these.
- krypnos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The book isn't bad, but I'd recommend "Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional" (Apress, Mat Lie Hetland) for newer users. Not free (to my knowledge), but definitely worth the buy. It was like $20USD on Amazon, for a new copy.
- nrwilk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is the one I'm using right now.
I agree, it's very well written, and makes learning python a breeze.
- nrwilk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is the one I'm using right now.
- capitapf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2for those of you who don't already know, this book comes preinstalled on ubuntu linux. its located in /usr/share/doc/diveintopython
- motang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nice find thanks, I am going give this a shot. I have always been interested in Python but couldn't find a good simple book to read up on.
- projecktzero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1If you like it, you should buy the dead tree version.
- erikuma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool book! I dugg this. What is dead tree version?
- energeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1knew about it since years, but it is a really good book, not meant for first time programmers, but first time python programmers it covers the finer and advanced points of the language
- carretero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dead tree = paper
