hi Elias, and welcome to Python! thanks for the plug james! this question is asked somewhat regularly. i addressed it a few years but most of my reply still applies: http://www.mail-archive.com/python-list@python.org/msg109993.html one big difference is that Alan Gauld's tutorial is now located at http://www.alan-g.me.uk ... another difference is that a good number of ultra-beginner (new to programming not just Python) books have come on the market as well. finally, i created a DVD + PowerPoint version of Core Python called "Python Fundamentals" if you want to watch video presentations on topics in addition to reading. if you're also looking to take an intensive Python training course that will take you beyond beginner status, i'm offering one in about 6-7 weeks (near San Francisco) where i'll *give* you a copy of Core Python :-) ... and speaking of which, i'm actually starting to research what it would take to bring the book to a 3rd edition and soliciting assistance from the community. more info on both the course and the next edition here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/baypiggies/2009-September/005483.html hope this helps! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
