I think a lot depends on your experience with other programming
languages. If you are new to Python, but not to programming, I'd
definitely go for "Python in a nutshell". To the point, loaded with
information, and a great resource. And I'd get "Python pocket
reference", which might be, for long periods, the only thing you need
to open.
If you do not have a lot of programming experience, you might want to
look at "How to think like a computer scientist", "A byte of Python"
(both freely available over the net), and then go for "Core Python
Programming".

A Byte of Python is supposed to be good for beginners too.
See http://www.byteofpython.info/
Its also a recommended book on the main Python site www.python.org
>From the preface:
"This book serves as a guide or tutorial to the Python programming
language. It is mainly targeted at newbies (those who are new to
computers). It is also useful for experienced programmers who are new
to Python.
The aim is: If all you know about computers is how to open and save
text files, then you should be able to learn Python from this book. If
you have previous programming experience, then this book should be
useful to get you up to speed on Python.

Hello All,
I would like a couple of book recommendations to get a jump start on Access

I have a few years in programming Basics, then to PDS 7.0, then finally went
to VB Pro 5. I have a few years in designing and utilizing flat file

Hey guys,
I have been programming on and off in C for many years now, but I
seem to forget the format of some function calls/conventions here and there,
I might be working on something that is written entirely in assembly
language for
months.. Come back to do some C and there'll be something here and there
that escapes me.
What I am after is recommendations on a good book to keep as a reference

Hi.
I'm looking for some recommendations for Visual Basic 2005 books.
Specifically, I'm NOT looking for books that detail the elements of
the language, nor explain OOP, but rather present real-world scenarios
for application development, and show how classes/components can be
developed together to form the overall application.
As an example, I already have a copy of Wrox's "ASP.NET 2.0 Website

I'm a VB guy looking to move to C#. I have quite a fair amount of

new to programming or the .NET framework itself. I am also quite

Hi!
I plan to develope a web application with PHP, and I am looking for a
book that aids me. I already have experience with PHP as well as
relational databases, but I never have written a big web application.
Moreover, I have programmed in other programming languages (mostly C++,
Java and C) and I have knowledge about UML, design patterns and
designing software.
I do not need a beginner's book, but a book that gives me some insight
