What about Learning Python the Hard Way? Would you recommend it for a newbie to programming who wants to pursue a career in CS? I downloaded that book due to Internet recommendations but havent dived into it yet. I would appreciate insight into what i should start with if i want to program seriously for the long haul.
For most people who've never programmed before, Learn Python the Hard Way is what I would recommend for getting started. It builds intuitions for programming little by little, without any huge "leap a tall building in a single bound!" parts of the learning curve. Most programming books are written by people who have forgotten what was once hard for them; LPtHW doesn't have that problem.
