Newbe-books

[Ken Liu]

I am surprised no one has mentioned Dive Into Python, a free,
"open-source" Python book by Mark Pilgrim.  It doesn't take the
typical approach of going through each language feature one at a time,
but I found that his approach was easily digestible and the
information is presented very deliberately.  It is written for a
programmer audience, so it doesn't spend any time going explaining
basic concepts like inheritance and introspection.  I spent a few days
reading through it a few months ago and quickly got up to speed with
Python.
