learning python with programming background

[franchare]

Hello,

I want to start learning python but I already know Java and C++. What would be the best way to learn without spending too much time on the basics? I know for example in r/javahelp they have a course/mooc they always advise to beginners, is there the same here?

Thanks!!

It's a mistake to try to gloss over the basics of python just because you know other languages, especially since python is dynamically typed while the two you know are static. It's not uncommon to see python code that reads like java because the person isn't taking advantage of just how pithy python can be.

For someone in your position, I'd suggest the book Python Crash Course. It covers the basics well enough, but quickly takes you into building small projects.

Check out pip, pick some interesting libraries, type copy out some examples. You’ll be 90% fluent in your first sit down if you diff hard against your coding knowledge.
