If you want to learn python, don’t read anything, start by creating an interesting project then ask for help on the internet. Reading will tire you out and you will feel you don’t have enough understanding to start your own stuff but book exercises
- stainablesteel 4y agocompletely agree you don't read a book about hammers before you hit a nail
- m_mueller 4y agodepends on whether your first name is Jeremy or James...
- travisjungroth 4y agoLiterally anything? That doesn’t seem like it would work well. Someone who already knows how to code could start with https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python/ https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python/ Someone who doesn’t know how to code could probably use even a bit more of an intro.
- version_five 4y agoHuh? Not that I oppose picking it up and trying it. But (a) try asking for help on the internet when you haven't rtfm yet and see how it goes (b) personally I love reading about programming languages I'll probably never use... I've never written a line of scheme in my life but SCIP still taught me a lot; and it's always interesting to see the different ways of doing things. (c) there's a reason the word pythonic exists. It's particularly interesting to see the python way of doing stuff, again, even if you don't code in it. It won't all stick, obviously, until you do a real project, but reading is never a bad idea.
