What's a good book for getting good with Python? I'm OK with one-off scripts to do simple sysadmin stuff(file backup, user creation), but I wanna get really good with it.
Go through the track at codecademy.com first
then, look at a book like this:
amazon.com/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-Edition/dp/1435455002
then get more advanced:
amazon.com/Python-Programming-Introduction-Computer-Science/dp/1590282418
and then eventually you will want to work through one of the big reference books on python
amazon.com/Learning-Python-Edition-Mark-Lutz/dp/1449355730
Also, in regards to Python, it is used in a lot of computer science courses nowadays, so you can find a ton of free resources online... check out coursera and other such sites for free video courses
