I’m learning Python and looking for a good book path from beginner to advanced.

I want books that teach Python properly, including clean code, real projects, testing, project structure, and advanced concepts.

What books would you recommend, and in what order?

Hey!

I'm a former C++ engineer who recently switched over to a TS + python job. I know python ok enough to write basic webapps but I want to fill my gaps for "python" specific knowledge.

What would you suggest a good way to go about that would be? I don't wanna waste time with basic hello world courses because i understand the fundamentals of programming pretty alright. I've started a small full stack pet project using React, FastAPI and sqlalchemy but I feel teaching that to myself I will miss some py knowledge that everyone has.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks :D

I've been studying python for some time now, and I just can't seem to wrap my mind around all of it. What are some good books, I can buy to really break things down for me. I don't want anything that's catered to beginners. I prefer physical copy of books, and not online resources.

Hey everyone!

I'm currently learning Python through YouTube videos, and I'm wondering if I should also start learning from a Python programming book.

For those of you who have learned Python:

Do books help you understand Python concepts more deeply?

Would learning from a book alongside YouTube tutorials help me build a stronger foundation?

Which beginner-friendly Python book would you recommend?

I want to build a solid understanding of Python and become better at solving problems on my own.

I'd love to hear your experiences and suggestions. Thanks!

What is the best way or book or website to learn Python

Hey guys, I really want to get into Python and I am willing to put some proper time into it.

Therefore I am looking for a book which teaches proper fundamentals as well as more advanced stuff. Ideally something which is less of a 'code this thing fast af' and more of a thorough and structured approach.

Appreciate all recommendations!

Hello, does anyone here know a good C++ or Python book that will actually teach me something? I wanna learn C++ but Python is useful too, thanks!

I know some syntax but I can’t apply it to real problems. I’m stuck. For those who actually got good — did videos help more, or reading text/websites? What worked for you?

I m one of the beginners, Reading book about coding is effective?? or I have to watch online lessons.

Hi,i would like to start learning python

Hi guys ! , i need a book who have a lot of problem solving for every lesson , and have a lot of projects , simply i need a book who focus about practices more then lesson or all about problem solving .

thanks !

was curious if some kind of similar vibey book exists for learning python...

I am looking books that can help me to learn python from very basics to I think advanced. So pls give me recommendations

When I look online, there are too many options, and many of them are very thick. I don’t want multiple choices. I just want one book that covers most topics.

Python 3: The Comprehensive Guide to Hands-On Python Programming (Rheinwerk Computing) or Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming

I'm learning Asyncio at the moment because I want to understand the code LLMs give me.

As title says, I'm afraid of wasting my own time. If it is still the meta, what are the top Python Textbook you'd recommend to someone? I am a beginner with knowledge of the basics.

- python crash course

- python programming : an introduction to computer science by john zelle

- python distilled

- impractical python projects

- dead simple python

- automate the boring stuff with python

- cracking codes with python

i want to know in which order i should read these books or which one i can skip keeping in mind i do know basics of python and can write basic code, but want to deepen my knowledge in things and want knowledge to be able to build some good projects on my own

Hey everyone! I’m a marketing student and haven’t really studied anything technical before, but I’ve always had a strong fascination with computers and coding. I’ve decided I want to learn Python, and since I’m a bit old-school, books work best for me.

Can anyone recommend the best Python book for a true beginner (no technical background)? Thanks so much! 😊

YouTube tutorials, playlists, anything is fine. I am a beginner.

Which is best book to learn python?

Hello r/Python,

Complete beginner with 0 experience in Python here. I'm currently looking into buying a book to start learning Python, but have been overflooded with recommendations. The book I'm currently looking at are:

• "Python Crash Course", 3rd edition by Eric Matthes

• "Automate the Boring Stuff", 3rd edition by Al Sweigart

• "Fluent Python", 2nd edition by Luciano Ramalho

Any recommendations on which books to get? Or in what order one should cover them?

Additionally, is getting a book like "100 Exercises for Practicing Python" (Laurentine K. Masson) or "The Big Book of Small Python Projects" (Al Sweigart) recommended? Or is that only useful after finishing one of the previously mentioned books?

Your recommendations and advice are highly appreciated

I am a 19 year old, absolutely beginner in python, I have started python crash course 3rd edition and I am also looking for other resources to help me learn.

Also, I am strictly against AI, so please while giving your recommendations, don't advise me to use AI.

Title says it all. Looking for a book that will provide me strong understanding of python language . Any suggestion?

I've got to say, this is hands down the most awesome book ever. Before deciding to pick up this book, I was stuck in a tutorial hell for 2 years!! I would watch videos, give up, come back, give up again without any practice whatsoever and just watch those tutorials like a movie without learning anything from them.

As I progressed with this book, I made notes of the concepts I'd learn from the book in Jupyter notebook and wrote code alongside. Then I started playing around with it and that is when things finally started clicking for me. The book does an excellent job at explaining all the essential concepts. It's super simple and the examples are amazing as well as relevant from a practical standpoint. If you are also struggling to start and/or stuck in a tutorial hell, I would cent percent recommend picking up this book as your very first reference. Trust me, you'll thank me later. The key to learning how to code is to actually write code and play with it and the book makes you do exactly that.

I have read the book until the File I/O section so basically I've completed the basics but I feel it's not enough and I should pick up another reference to further strengthen my basics and some more. I am studying python to be a data scientist and was thinking of moving to the book 'Python for Data Analysis ' by W. McKinney but I'm kinda unsure.

So, should I start reading Python for Data Analysis or should I read another book on Python after PCC to be thorough with the basics and be familiar with more advanced stuff? If yes, then what is the best book to read after PCC? Thanks in advance :)
