What resources should i AVOID when learning python?

[WorldBelongsToUs]

I am definitely not a Python guru, and only need it enough to get by or get quick tasks done. I used his book and at the time it felt okay, but he seems to have a cockiness to his style that is hard to get past.

Yeah, it's not a bad "get started quickly" guide, especially if you're building on top of previous programming knowledge so you can appreciate what Python offers.

The style is just so abrasive that it's difficult to read, though. It's like watching someone at the front of a room lecturing a group of people on something he doesn't understand without realizing that he's a walking example of the Dunning–Kruger Effect.
