Can you recommend a book for a person like me which comes with a C background and the book covers all essential algoithmic methods and examples? Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor Hello Kaustubh: I am also a C programmer and the first thing I read about Python was "A Quick, Painless Tutorial on the Python Language" by Prof. Norman Matloff of UC-Davis. Here is the link to his page -- I didn't realize he had created other tutorials regarding Python, and will have to look at those myself. http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/python.html Here is the specific link to the tutorial I mentioned: http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/Python/PythonIntro.pdf In addition, I wasn't satisfied after learning on my own and took an online course. I also like Beginning Python - From Novice to Professional by Magnus Hetland. I have other books as well, such as Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson, but I like Hetland's style more and have a book being shipped to me by Hetland called Python Algorithms. Good Luck Patty
