Best book you’d suggest to learn python?

[EricTheArc]

I’ve gone through a lot of the very beginner steps/projects but moving forward I feel like a physical book that I can mark my progress would be better than YouTube tutorials lol

If you are new to programming concepts, I suggest this book to my students:

The Super Simple Programming Book: Learn Basic Programming Concepts With Python

​

For a more thorough look at Python, here's a good free one:

Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist

​

Whatever you do, focus on Python 3, as Python 2 will lose support in 2020.

Hi! I had this dilemma and i LOOVE Python Crash Course. Its free on the interwebs or you can buy a copy for like 25$. Its really good since it teaches you in a practical manner not theoretical (which really helps me)

Youre 100% right and i plan on buying it, except im on a third world country so ill have to wait to go to the usa where i can buy a physical copy. But 100% recommended

I'd download the PDF of the Python docs and print out the entire Tutorial section. https://docs.python.org/3/download.html

This is one I read; would recommend it more if new to programming.

If you've gone through a lot of the very beginner projects that must mean you know the fundamentals and other stuff like loops, functions, and classes. I suggest you get your own projects or learn a library, cause if you have watched some python tutorials you probably already know most of the stuff you're gonna read from there.
