There is a book humble bundle with only python books, those looks really great if you want to learn programming and/or python :)
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/python-book-bundle
There is a lot of various subject: automation, video game, math, security, list of projects...
Seems like a good occasion if you want to learn programming :)
@bram are those books old or are they up to date?
@floreal most of them say they uses python3, so I would expect them to be up to date, but python moves quite slowly so old books are still generally ok
@bram Bought the bundle at the mid price range (didn't really want all the books).
So far so good, except I'm disappointed about gray hat python, it's been written back in the python 2.3 days.
@plemaire wow o_O
and is the functional knowledge related to security is still up to date? I wouldn't expect that since 2.3 is awefuly old
@bram hard to tell, I'm a hobbyist, not a pro.
@bram correction: the set up part of the book mentions downloading python 2.5 and setting up Eclipse. It appears to be from around 2009.
@bram for my level the best book of the bundle is Automate the boring stuff with python.
@plemaire oh cool :)
I know that one friend of a friend read it and use it to automatise half of his day job work (after having read "learn python the hard way"), looks like top notch material
@plemaire (and thanks for the feedback, it's very useful for me to recommend things to people
)
@bram the python documentation online is also really high quality - at least what i have seen so far.
