What's new in the 2nd edition? Couldn't find a list of updates/additions anywhere.
- sigzero 15y agoFor lack of an FAQ: https://gitorious.org/learn-python-the-hard-way/learn-python-the-hard-way/commits/master https://gitorious.org/learn-python-the-hard-way/learn-python...
- shii 15y agoReading the git log for the site with some of the book mixed in isn't the greatest way for a student to figure out what's changed... Zed, I think many people would really appreciate a changelog of some sorts between the two versions. edit: also see this comment by Zed which basically goes over what's changed: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2700557 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2700557

- sigzero 15y agoI agree but prior to your posting that link that was the only way I found and no not real fun wading through the change log like that.
- Ntagg 15y agoI can't tell either. You can review the new edition in HTML for free here: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/
- bstar 15y agoI think the new version has an updated section for the rails 3.1 assets engine... ...Oops, I thought this was Learn Ruby the Easy Way with an introduction by DHH and Ryan Bigg. Sorry.
- zedshaw 15y agoI just put that on the main site page. I've basically rewritten exercises 50,51, and 52 to have you create a web application out of the game in 41 and 42. I also rewrote 41 and 42 to be a more challenging game that's a bit more complex to create. Finally I fixed bugs and errors in about 50% of the exercises, mostly minor typos here and there.
