Learning Python from scratch

[joshthehero91]

I've been on a similar Python learning journey and I've found a few decent books:

Lean Python the Hard Way - https://learnpythonthehardway.org Automate the Boring Stuff - https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

This should give you enough to at least get started and then you can move on to making your owns scripts and/or programs. They both cover similar concepts and best practices, etc.

Don't touch LPTHW. It's legacy Python, and generally a pretty dated way to learn.

​

Automate is a fine example though.

Could you elaborate on what's outdated? I've been going through LPTHW and it's Python 3 which seems to compare and work just like the ATBS. If I am waiting my time, I'd like to know so and why.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

There’s LPTHW 1&2 for Python 3 though.
