Getting started with Python: Tips, Tools and Resources
- croyd 13y agoI took Udacity's cs101 class as a (lazy) way to get introduced to python. While I felt like it was a very well done introduction to computer science, it wasn't a very effective way to learn a language as it made a deliberate effort to decouple python and cs (and rightfully so). I would suspect that this is also true of the other MOOCs listed here.
- looper42 13y agoTry MIT one, i guess that you will like. I have just started learning python ( after learning javascript ) in i find it best resource available.
- vgnanand 13y agoAnother good resource :- http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ http://learnpythonthehardway.org/
- setrofim_ 13y agoAlso, Project Euler for "Practice Exercises and Projects", and vim+python-mode and geany for IDE's. python-forum.org and #python on irc.freenode.org for getting specific help.
- Millennium 13y agoI miss Dive Into Python. It was awesome.
- mapleoin 13y agoWhy are you talking about it in the past tense? http://www.diveintopython.net/toc/index.html http://www.diveintopython.net/toc/index.html http://getpython3.com/diveintopython3/ http://getpython3.com/diveintopython3/
- Stauche 13y agoIt was last update in 2004....
- Millennium 13y agoI know it's been mirrored, but is someone keeping it updated?
- simon_weber 13y agoI like http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest enough to point it out specifically (it's linked far down the page). Combined with PEP8, it's a fantastic stylistic resource.
- Havoc 13y agoPython as a language is great. Its the GUI frameworks that always stop my advances into Python...there are about half a dozen of them and they come in various flavours of broke, ugly, incompatible, difficult or abandoned. So I end up downloading VS C# Express...
- xeper 13y agoAs someone who's relatively comfortable with VS ('08-'12) and who has licenses, I'm curious to know what the limitations (if any) are to using VS for development with Python. Do you (or does anyone) know of any quick-start guides or tutorials to working with Python (or any other non-.NET languages) in Visual Studio?
- FlukeATX 13y agoI haven't used it much with Python, but I had a great experience with Qt with C++ and I know Python bindings exist. How much have you looked into it?
- irahul 13y agoIf you are already a programmer, official tutorial will be the best and fastest http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/ http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/ The page list some other domain as official python tutorial: http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/python.html http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/python.html That's not the official python tutorial(it's giving me an access error - no ideas what's hosted there).
