Hello fellow lemmians (I hope that is correct), I want to learn a programming language in my free time, like a hobby and not necessarly for work. I think a general purpose language like python would be a good choice. I’m the type who prefer paperback books to minimize distraction and I would like your recommendation for a book, Im thinking about “Python crash course 3d edition” but feel free to suggest something else

    “Python crash course” sounds good - I haven’t read it personally but my experience with no starch press books is that they’re pretty good.

    Other options are “A byte of Python” and “Automate the boring stuff with Python”.

    I am also someone who prefers physical books. When I was learning I went to my local library and took out pretty much their entire section of Python books (not that big) and read through them.

    Most important is to find out what works for you!
