In the long ago past I did learn some programing but I have not used any of it for years. I do remember some basics however so the book does not have to be for a total beginner. (C, C++, BASIC, Visual BASIC, Pascal and some ADA) I have been using Linux for a while and overall still don't know much about it but I can find my way. I have my system dual boot with windows vista. I do realize that everyone is different but I would like to see some suggestions and maybe reasons why you think it is good. I have looked for/searched and found a few different books but as my means are a bit limited right now I don't really want to buy several just one or maybe two books. Oh and if someone knows a place to find some used books of this sort that would be great (ebay I guess :) Thanks for your thoughts Randy theslayers9 gmailThe Oreilly "Python in a Nutshell" (2006, 2nd ed.) book is very good and will get you up to speed in short order.
This is one of the books I see around and it does seem that O'Reilly is where most people go for them :)
