Hi Robert, I'm currently using Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner (get the 3rd ed, the 2nd has a lot of typos, but I'm learning to troubleshoot better :) by Michael Dawson. It assumes ZERO coding experience, and I have scripted in Python before, but I'm so rusty I figured I'd start from Ground Zero. -Anne This one time, Arch Angel wrote:
My son, some of you have met, is showing an interest in Python programming. He has never done any sort of programming in the past, however I told him that we would learn Python together. I have very little programming experience myself, but I have worked in Python in the past. Mostly either reworking something already written or very small targeted scripts for a certain task. What would be a good book , or website, that we can sit down at the kitchen table to learn Python side by side? I thinking something which creates short bursts of code that has a usable product in the end might be better, this way he doesn't get bored and decide to quit before he realizes the power of Python. Thanks everyone!
