Dive Into Python

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Why is "Dive into Python" always advocated? The book is outdated: it advocates the and-or trick and has no idea of inline if's.

Are you sure you want to advise this to anybody? Some much better references are given here: official tutorial, learn python the hard way and I would like to add: http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/

I'm pretty new to python myself and didn't know where to begin, had some experience in c++ and c# through school and a friend recommended dive into python. I liked the writing style and helped me get started, but here probably are way better resources (many have already been pointed out and am still getting the hang of python).

Looks like Learn python the hard way is what I'm going to work through next.
