As someone who recently taught himself programming later in life, I would strongly recommend the "Learn Enough" series by Michael Hartl and "Python Crash Course". Both are very approachable and provide an excellent intro to programming.
- PopeDotNinja 7y agoThanks! Can you comment on the how steep the learning curve is for Python Crash Course? The Michael Hartl suggestion is great, too. My first serious push into programming was with Ruby & Ruby on Rails. I also remember feeling the initial learning curve for Rails to be somewhat steep, especially when trying to do it in a test driven manner.
- tharne 7y agoPython Crash Course is not a steep curve learning at all. If anything, the book can move a bit slow at times, making sure to reinforce each lesson.
