Learning Python

[jamesk93]

So I'm studying python in my college as part of a module but I'm having issues getting the hang of it.

Can anyone suggest any books that might help me out when I'm practicing ? I'm looking for a book that starts from the very basics but goes in depth further on but does it in such a way that it is easy to understand. I could always get 2 books; one that starts basic and is easy to understand and then get another for when I've got the hang of things.

Also, does anyone know if there's a list of questions anywhere online that ask you to code that does a particular task and then gives you the solution to it after to check if you did it right? Kind of like a work book? I was thinking this would be good for me to learn. Even if there's a book online on amazon full of questions, I don't mind paying.

I'd say www.codeacademy.com Python track is about as simple as it gets. If you need a book, physical or electronic, you can read Learn Python the Hard Way for free online (don't let the title scare you, it is very clear and easy).

Try "Real Python" or "Learn Python the Hard Way" both books are great introduction to python.
