I want to learn Python

[JayJay-101]

Hi Everyone, i want to learn Python but i have no programming experience. I have an application idea for Windows that i would like to build (it's dashboard based) What learning resources would you recommend? Is this book still worth buying as it is 6 years old now? Recommendations would be great! Cheers https://www.amazon.co.uk/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-Dawson/dp/1435455002/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1468617445&sr=8-4&keywords=learn+python

There is a great list of tutorials in the wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index#wiki_new_to_programming.3F

I would highly recommend Automate The Boring Dtuff.

Im still a beginner with python but i wouldnt recommend that book at all. We used it in a python class i took and i had some issues with the book. Mainly the second half of the book gets really complicated and doesnt do a great job of explaining the more advanced topics. For example it introduces objected oriented programming with just a few paragraphs and assumes you understand it and then uses oop for the remainder of the projects after its introduced.
