In, I wrote an article titled "why dive into Python" is not recommended.
At that time, I wrote:
...... If you have to find a book that can be held in your hand, the standard of a good Python book is either to make achievements in the breadth or depth. In terms of breadth, "Python programming Golden Book" has done a good job; in depth, "Python cookbook" and "Cute Python" SeriesArticleBetter .......
In fact, at that time, both the "Python programming book" and "Python cookbook" were a little outdated, so when someone asked me to recommend several Python books, I will not recommend these two books anymore, but ask him to read tutorial and Lib ref in Python manuals directly. The situation is a little different now. From the end of 2010 to now, I have found three books worth buying (all of which cover py3.x). Here I will give a brief comment for your reference.
1. Python basic Tutorial: Version 2nd
The content structure of this book is well organized, with basic knowledge and content that attracts new users (such as GUI). The focus is on the case project, it is easy to learn Python through this book if you can follow the author's intent to keep up with programming tasks.
2. Python Reference Manual (version 4th)
The book is like its name. It introduces many standard databases and is a must-have reference. In addition, there is a good introduction to some coroutine that is rarely used. It is not too heavy. It is certainly helpful to familiarize yourself with python.
3. advanced Python Programming
This book is equivalent to Objective C ++ in C ++. The knowledge in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 can be well digested, for example, the descriptor book, which is used by almost all books to avoid talking about, involves how to write applications, libraries, lifecycle management, and document writing, reading is slow and chewy.
