Re: Beginner's Python Book Or Website Suggestion

[HObbES <hobbes () vaxer net>]

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.
