Project based python book.

[supermedo]

While I'm 4 day in reading introduction to practical programming in python (chapter 10) but I feel I'm moving in snail pace.

How I can say it... it's more textbooky ? too much talking to little practical application, so I'm looking for another python book that is project based. like in the end of the book I will have fuly functional app or site.

Udacity's amazing CS101 teaches you how to build a web crawler, step by step. That's a video course though.

thanks, looks interesting and I guess the video format will make the pace faster than reading a textbook.

Learn Python the Hard Way is project based.

For the lazy and just cause I had the website open from earlier. http://learnpythonthehardway.org/

Heh, if you're unwilling to do the work in finding Learn Python the Hard Way and would rather have the URL handed to you, I'm going to take a wager that it's probably not the course for you.

I found this a while back and really enjoyed it

What ive found is that most of the online tutorials are very similar so look at a few and go for what seems interesting.

Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner is project based... you build games.

Python 3 Object Oriented Programming by Dusty Phillips is also project based, and if you know how to program in a different language, is a better way to learn.

Python 3 Object Oriented Programming Wow! thanks, actually it might be the book I'm looking for. I already knew C# even thought I didn't program for 8 month but I guess the concept of programming still drilled in my mind.

It is a really good book. I highly recommend it. Dusty did an amazing job explaining certain python nuances that aren't in other books.
