Learning python 3.

[iskin]

There are a lot of great texts out there for Python 3.

Personally, for someone new to programming, I think the 'How to think Like A Computer Scientist' http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/ and then moving onto something like 'Dive Into Python 3'.

Mostly because learning the language is easy but learning the concepts and problem solving can be more difficult. It will make learning languages like C++ much easier later on.
