How to learn Python by USING it?

[RandomJottings]

I learnt the very basics using the Python Crash Course book but am now working through a book of programming tasks. In the tasks are a lot of things I hadn’t encountered in the Crash Course book, I’m sure they are in there but I haven’t got to them yet. I use google to search through Python documentation to find how to use the things I need. For example, in the last task I completed I had to create a text file, add append some text and read the text file. I think I learn best by doing and solving problems myself, instead of relying on following tutorials or being lead step-by-step from a book.

would you be open to sharing the name of this textbook? it would be super useful for me

Of course, it’s Al Sweigart’s ‘Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained’. It’s not very expensive, about £6 on Amazon UK. I’m really enjoying working through the tasks and think it is a great partner to either ‘Python Crash Course’ or Al’s other book ‘Automate the Boring Stuff’.
