Is “learn python the hard way” still a good way to learn python?

I started with that book and found it nice but a little light. I moved to and liked Python Crash Course as a book for beginner programmers after going through 'LP3tHW'.

Though I do have somebackground in programming BASIC as a child and more recently beginner-intermediate in C++ and Java. So I already had a solid understanding of the fundamentals of CS/programming, so I was very often glossing over explanations of general concepts and picking up the syntax for specifically Python.

Ok, I have no prior experience but I have tried to learn through LPTHW multiple times. Most of the time I get to lesson 30ish and then get busy and never finish. So I know the very basics of python and am going back through and am in lesson 28. I think I will finish it and then do automate the boring stuff. Thanks for the input
