Hi Dylan,<br><br>Welcome! <br><br>I would recommend the following. Go through this a couple times to really get to learn the syntax.<br><a href="http://www.korokithakis.net/tutorials/python">http://www.korokithakis.net/tutorials/python</a><br>
<a href="http://hetland.org/writing/instant-python.html">http://hetland.org/writing/instant-python.html</a><br><br>You can also try this<br><a href="http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index">http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index</a><br>
<br>The "Learning Python" book you have is superb. It is a great intermediate+ level book.<br><br>All that's left is practice. I hope this helps.<br><br>- Andrew <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 9:17 PM, Grig Gheorghiu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:grig.gheorghiu@gmail.com">grig.gheorghiu@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

In terms of introductory books, I found Hetland's 'Beginning Python'<br>
very useful:<br>
