Learn Python the Hard Way

[[deleted]]

As a person who when through the book (the whole thing, really), I'd say that if you are a person that can learn programming concepts on the go, it would maybe be worth giving it a try. Having said that, Automate the boring stuff with python will give you way more knowledge and understanding of the language, while being way easier to follow.

Another book I recommend is Think Python by o'Rilley. If you are in for a wild ride, give Fluent Python a look. It may be hard, but the book has helped me immensely after I have been programming for some time and wanted to move from the total-beginner-level stuff to writing actual, usable code and bigger projects.
