Just for people's info, this book costs $29.99...
I think it's a good price.

I read the first four chapters and I think this would be a good book for
inexperienced programmers. I also found an interesting thread about the
book's history. This book was inspired(?) through another python book
"How
to Think Like a Computer Scientist", which has been one of our
recommendations on pythonvis. And the Think Like ... book was inspired by
a book of a similar title, but about Java.
This book seems about the same level of difficulty as the Think book. I
think this book is a general sort of learn how to program using python as
the vehicle for learning, which is also the case with the Think book.

Hello Warren,
Welcome to the list and thanks for the recommendation. It sounds like you
are at the same point I was a few years ago when I decided to learn Python
shortly after retiring.
I look forward to looking through the book over the next few days.
Another
good book for experienced programmers that are new to Python is 'Learning
Python' by Mark Lutz available on BookShare.
Thanks again for the reference and I look forward to some interesting
posts
in the future.
Richard

Subject: [pythonvis] Learning Python - "The Coder's Apprentice"
Hi
I am a retired computer software developer. My background is
BA in mathematics, MA in Astronomy, and 40 years experience
in engineering and CADD software development. I am legally blind. I
use large print and high contrast on my computer.
I have started learning Python. I started by looking a different study
plans. The objective is to learn the language, and THINK in the
language. I wanted a resource that:
o covered all of the basics of the language,
o has code examples throughout the book that one could run, and modify
to get an understanding of each feature,
o has exercises at the end of each chapter that cover the material and
involve working out a solution to the exercise (i.e. learn how to
apply the features to real problems),
o has answers to the exercises (i.e. see how the author used these
features to solve the exercise).
I found a book, "The Coder's Apprentice" that covers the above
requirements. I am three quarters of the way through the book and
would recommend this book as a great starting place. Be sure to
"digest" the contents of Chapter 1, Introduction. This will give you a
real understanding of how to use this book.
I have been studying with a friend who uses JAWS to read the screen.
I used the .pdf version of the book to create a .txt version that can
be read using JAWS.
I have attached my text version of the book as: pythonbook.txt.
This version was done by hand and will have some errors.
