I was looking for a dense & concise guide to the language, but one of the most popular books "Learning Python 5e" by Lutz was too long @ 1600 pages.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoHis book is awesome! I wish I had it when I started Python. I had gone through the documentation tutorial thrice, the entire documentation once or twice. Started writing code and then understood python. I found that learning Python is simple, mastering it is difficult, the magic which happens all the times makes it difficult to understand, which is the reason why static languages are awesome as less magic as possible.
