Learning python 2nd takes time to arrive.

Learning python second edition was first supposed to arrive at the
beginning of November. But the date have been relayed many times to
finally be in December.

Now, we are the 17th of December and he is still not there. I wanted
to have that book just in time to read it in my Christmas vacation,
but I'm not sure anymore that I'll get it for this time.

If someone at O'Reilly or the author of the book or anyone that know
more than me on that can give me a hint of when the book will finally
arrive, it would be great.

I also want to know how many time it usually take for Amazon to have a
book after O'Reilly published it. It's because I always buy my books
with Amazon.

Thanks

Note : English is not my mother tongue (I'm learning it) so be kind.

There is an amazing article by paul graham about python, and an even better discussion about it on slashdot. The reason I point this out, is the more I read both articles, the more I realised how we would be mutilating the language with that god forsaken @ decorator. I don't know about the rest of you, but I learned python and fell in love with its syntax and simplicity. Python - just works. So please GVR. Don't complicate it. Leave it as...

Hi there, A few weeks until I begin my journey towards a degree in Computer Science at Canterbury University in New Zealand, Anyway the course tutors are going to be teaching us JAVA wth bluej and I was wondering if anyone here would be able to give me some tips for young players such as myself, for learning the language. Is this the best Newsgroup for support with JAVA?

Recently I woke up inclined to take up the task of learning another programming language. I've already dipped my toes in Perl (I've read online tutorials and wrote a couple of irrelevant pet projects) but, as the computers at my workplace only sport the python interpreter, it probably means that learning python will end up serving me better, at least in the short run. Plus, you know how Perl goes. So far the decision seems to be a no...

Just something that crosses my mind every time I delve into "Learning Python" each night. Does anyone see any value in learning Python when you don't need to for school, work, or any other reason? I mean, sure, there's value in learning anything at any time, but for something like a programming language, I can't help but feel that I will be mostly unable to use what I learn simply because I have no reason to use it. The *process* of...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
