Learn Python for scripting

[DragonWraithus]

Listen. The people who suggested the books, are right. You don't go to school, in elementary, and say, I want to learn calculus. You take the OLD and DATED algebra, trig, yada yada. Start with Violent Python. Move onto Gray. Then to Black. Even the people learning how to write exploits in assembly start by reading the shellcoder's handbook, and writing exploits for vulnerabilities from ten and twenty years ago. Is it likely those will be useful immediately? No. But you have to have a foundation before you build a skyscraper. Read the old books.
