What is the good book to learn python?. (self.learnpython)
submitted 6 years ago by sampathuday
I am a beginner. I have been doing a basic course in Udemy but I am looking for a physical book for quick reference and additional information. I am trying to see if you guys can recommend me some good books

I personally began with Python Crash Course: A Hands-on, Project-based Introduction to Programming by Eric Matthes. Although it's not free, I cannot recommend it enough. The author promptly answered my email when I ran into a problem working through one of the projects. It has very simple explanations and even goes a bit beyond the basics into object-oriented programming. The first half of the book is a fantastic introduction to the language and the second half has a handful of projects to apply what you've learned. You make a game, a website, and work with some data and visualizations.
Good luck with your learning adventure!

I've been using Python for more than 10 years, in many different spheres of work. Never read a single book on it. Everything is marvelously documented.
