hi, I think i am bit late to answer but if you still need some suggestion, then i am eagerly providing here. First After You Read And Excerise All These Books. You will be Prepared for Python Projects. Take a Notebook or search online for some and do some quick project then find a python community and join any open teams to work with other developers!

I have some experience with C++ before, I recently have been using python to built an engineering application for my company, I absolutely love python. So far I have been writing my code and getting help from python documentation. I m interested to buy these books. Thanks for your video.

Very informative, thanks for posting! Your content really helped me find myself as a new Tech KZreadr that switched careers to the tech industry recently. Keep doing what you do!

As someone who is currently reading a java beginner book, I will say that the books are the best way to get a foundational understanding. I was taking courses online and those helped, but I really wanted to get straight to what I had set out to do. I know this is not relevant to Python; however, I do strongly recommend reading a book over getting a course. They're more inexpensive, and give a stronger sense of learning. That's where all the knowledge is at anyway for the most part. I just ordered a MYSQL book for less than ten dollars and the book I have now that is by Packt is helpful. I am by all means a complete novice; yet, I already feel much more knowledgeable about the topics I knew nothing about previously even if it's just something small.

Quite frankly I think its simply that a book just contains more foundational material that can be learned faster than sitting on a bunch of 5 hour youtube videos. Its just reading a book that matches your skill level and retaining as much as you can by focusing on actually learning. I think other mediums there is the urge to just repeat what they are doing on VSCode or just completing a lesson to get credit and not retaining anything. The rest is just using your intermediate knowledge on projects and try to expand your horizon.

@@nemanjajovanovic8295 Yeah 100%. I'm not surprised either. There is free material online to learn a lot of stuff you want to learn but you end up wasting so much time trying to filter through, vet out all the information for what you need learn. Spending the $20-$30 for a book on Python or Pandas doesn't seem that crazy. This was the same way for me when I wanted to learn personal finance or investing topics. A dry book of 500-700 pages on how to analysis a company offers a lot more than spending hours on youtube vetting through sub-par information on it.

Hello Sir. Would you recomend the book "Invent your own computer games with python" as a good book for begin in this language? Thank you for your videos and advices.

Thanks dude!

Would you recommend the 2nd or 3rd edition for crash course book?

Anything by Al Sweigert is going to be a great way to introduce yourself to the system and gain some skills. The way he writes is almost like having a friend right next to you, guiding you.

Sir u told python crash course for beginner friendly but which edition I have to take 2nd edition or 3rd edition? Please reply sir

Good work please recommend a book for me 1 .quantum computing 2 super computer and Higher performance computer and any profession examination required

I have Python Distilled and I honestly think it's a bit overrated in terms of its usefulness. Yes, it's a good reference and you will probably check out certain sections from time to time, but its layout doesn't make it a good place to learn specific ways to do things (as in, the best way to achieve some goal). For that, I think Effective Python is much better.

Very interesting review. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

After reader finish an introductory on Python there is a workbook from Springer publishing "The Python Workbook". A good project book.

What about the Automate the boring stuff with python?

Hi :-) thank you for your guide. I have look for a project-based Python learning book but I am yet to find one. I am not interested in being a professional programmer or a computer scientist but in using Python scripting within software already made, making some specialized modules work for me without having to reinvent the wheel, and some basic GUIs as front end. I was exposed to computing way back then in the 80s at a graduate program in GIS, thus I got a petty good idea what language were to be used for what type of project and then hire a real programmer. With two semesters of Turbo Pascal under my belt at some point I heard of Python “...make easy things easy and difficult things possible” and I felt that was it. But I when I tried learning to program I was frustrated by the nerdiness of the writing. Mind you that generation of writers was people who spent most of their lives staring at a black and white screen, and not very well paid. They could not explain anything without referring to "C" which I respect as the base of all that exist in our computing realm (in spite of the memory management headache) but they were unable to explain any concepts without using computer jargon instead of creativity, or in reference to the much larger reasoning universe than the computing discipline. I mean we are talking about a general script language, not machine language, ADA, Lisp, or the latest industrial Cs. I was successfully busy with work, lived in six countries, rock climbed, etc. So it has taken all these years to have a retreat and quiet time to refocus on Python because it has become the lingua franca of the science revolution we are experiencing now, petty exciting stuff. I tell you all this soap opera hoping it may help you to provide a better hint to how should I proceed. * I have the first and the last book you promoted and I will get the reference one. Hopefully this time I will not be discouraged :-) Still interested in a project-based Python learning path. It seems I learn lots better by imitation - like children - than by reasoning and memorizing mechanistic concepts.

Thanks!

The time it takes to read a book on coding , plus the fact that it is not so practical, I don't think it's good. Some interactive ebook maybe. But the course online with constant practice and applying what you learn is the best choice . Only reading theory and not doing all the coding yourself won't help you anything

I want to learn python and it's my first language I don't know how to start so i just search if there is any book. I have python crash course book well I will read it and try to learn python but it's looking a bit complicated

Hmmm.... Books seem like great choices. And projects are great way to really learn things. However, I'd argue that solving a bunch of small Python programming problems is a great way to learn quickly. You can find problems sets online

The Big Book of Small Python Projects is great and free.

What if you have trouble reading are you like to learn the computer language python is there audiobooks to help me

OK. And what is the best book that would take you from intermediate to expert in Python?

Smarter way of learning Python is number one for me so far

Thanks for the videos! This is really helpful. Book 2 is a new one on me. Book 3 I’ve seen but interesting to hear it in the sequence you’ve put it! I am reading (as a beginner) an interesting No Starch book currently. ‘Learn to code by solving problems’ by Daniel Zingaro. What I like about it is that unlike other books that often have a large section of concepts then projects. This book introduces you to a problem FIRST. Then teaches you the Python concepts to solve it and talks you through solving it. Before then leaving you at the end of the chapter with some other problems to try. I like this problem-first approach and that you that get using Python immediately. Would be interesting to hear a review from you if you thought it would work for your channel and other viewers may like it also. After this I’ll be going through Python Crash Course, as I know it’s very high quality explanations as well as good projects, even though the ‘level’ will be similar to this book.

I found your recommendation for this book really worthwhile. I now have a copy and for the first time I actually feel like I am getting somewhere with Python or coding. The use of DMOJ is a brilliant idea and it gets you hooked on solving problems from the outset. The only thing that I don’t really like is around the online code judges themselves, that they’re not trying to get people to write user-friendly code but rather writing code that passes the automated tests. Having said that, I already know how to prompt for an input and print outputs, so changing to the slightly different focus is fine by me.

If I can understand what the question is asking me to do, I can now generally write code to pass the challenge - but that’s not the author’s fault, it’s more about how these questions on DMOJ are written.
