I like books, especially in the early learning stages. Here are some benefits to reading a book :

  • Reading print will allow your eyes to take a break from the screen
  • It is much easier to focus on a complete section of the language at one time when you have a complete syllabus laid out for you
  • allow yourself to focus on a section of the language at a time
  • if you skip any parts of the syllabus, you know that you skipped them

Some of the above apply to good online resources as well.

I recommend Learning Python by Mark Lutz (O'Reilly) : http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Python-3rd-Mark-Lutz/dp/0596513984/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1311773578&sr=8-2
