The reference I've been suggesting for Python is http://learnpythonthehardway.org/
A way I've found effective for learning beyond the basics, is to tweak existing programs. github.com has a massive amount of code for you to look at, to copy and change, searchable in many ways, including by programming language.
Learning programming is similar in difficulty to the project of becoming a clearer thinker, and as useful.
Any recommendations of a good tutorial of Python 3?
EDIT: Thanks for the responses.
Swaroop writes well, and covers both Python 2 and 3: http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Python
The very same site, and take a little longer to look up the differences between what The Hard Way uses and Python 3. As I recall it's mostly syntax stuff (like the changes to print), all the major changes are beyond the scope of the book (at which point you'd probably be able to teach yourself Python 3?).
Yes, starting with Python 2 won't make it more difficult to pick up Python 3.
