I tend to be a bit bookish, and I was wondering what would be considered the best book on Python? Is There something like the Hacker's Guide to Python?
There are several. "Dive Into Python" assumes you understand programming and uses examples to illustrate the "Pythonic" aspects. Lutz and Ascher's "Learning Python" (O'Reilly) is also good, though a slower read. The Hacker's Guide is a great book (in my not so humble opinion), but not a book to learn FoxPro. It was targeted at the experienced VFP developer to point them towards mastery. But for teaching a novice, I think there are better books out there. That said, the "Python Cookbook" is a great one for getting something done: it has "recipes" that illustrate in a short snippet the technique to accomplish a specific goal. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
