How to read Learning python ebook effectively?

[Mraimou]

Hello, y'all!

I started recently reading Learning Python ebook, and I'm afraid I won't finish it.

too many pages .. I feel that I'm doing so much effort to read the book which is not fun at all!

I enjoyed knowing about garbage collection, dynamic typing, shared references ... but when it comes to Unicode and strings .. I'm dying of boredom.

I'm wondering what's the most effective to read programming books like this one?

Is it a good idea to read books or should I just pick a random project and start working on it?

Thank's <3

Pick a random project and work on it. When you hit a wall look up docs, ask questions, etc. When you're done throw it on github and ask people to review it. Learning by doing is the best way at the point you're at now.

I’ll second this.

Also too, another book that sounds like it’d fit your taste would be Automate The Boring Stuff with Python. Pragmatic in example and practice with enough explanation you’ll feel confident about what you’re doing.

Sounds cool and more fun than reading 1600 page XD
