So you want to learn Python! Smart choice!

 

If you are experienced programmer in other languages, go directly to "Advanced" section of PythonBooks

 

This website is a guide for a computer enthusiast without programming experience (and without teacher) when learning Python. Which books are best? Where to start? Fear no more, you are at the right place -- we have the links: everything you need to get started, and succeed.

 

You need to learn:

  • Language syntax (how to explain computer what you want to do)
  • Data structures (how to model things in your programs)
  • Problem solving (how to put syntax and data together, and how to find bugs)
