I've Read Over 100 Books on Python. Here are the Top 3

Book 1 :Python crash course Book 2: python programming Book 3: classic computer science problems in python, algorithms illuminated learning scientific programming in python, python tools for science effective pandas

The best book for non-beginners is "Fluent Python" by Luciano Ramalho.

I wholeheartedly agree with your approach to learning the Python programming language and your choice of three excellent Python books. However, I suggest that books #2 and #3 could be replaced with a single book, "Introduction to Computation and Programming Using Python" by MIT professor John V. Guttag. This book not only covers the essential concepts comprehensively but also comes with a valuable bonus – over 20 MIT YouTube lectures that serve as the foundation for the book. It's a great resource to enhance your Python learning journey. 😄

Many thanks for these valuable tips! Great Video!!!

fantastic video, thanks for this suggestions Giles, really helpful.

Also worth mentioning is the book Clean Code In Python by Mariano Anaya. The good explanation of decorators and generators helped me a lot.

brilliant. I love this ! Now I am completely hooked to this. You are a great teacher love it!

Thank you for the video. Your approach is comprehensive, balanced, and it's evident that there has been a lot of research and thought put into crafting the script. I feel more confident to continue my Python studies. You haven't just gained another subscriber. You've gained a fan!

My focus was data analytics. I read Python Crash course part 1 (skip part 2). Followed by Effective Pandas. 7 months in and now I can do everything I did in excel plus more. So glad I started on the journey.

hahaha creative video, i love this ! Thanks for your recommendation!!

Excellent explanation. Thank you

Thanks. I don't find very much to be practically helpful anymore on youtube. But this was nice. I appreciate your distillation of the subject matter.

putting this in my favourites - even as a PhD student with plenty of experience, this is a very good description of how to learn something without getting bored to death of it. Excellent video.

Thanks for the video!

I rarely comment but this is really well done. It dove into it from the very start. The camera on all those books really drove home the point of hundred being a lot. The metaphor with learning the language via the dictionary was splendid and SO on point. Then the recommendations happened. I liked how each recommendation talked about book structure and whys. I liked that 3rd place was - in a way - 1st, actually. I liked the order. And now, we're talking about other helpful books and why and where they're helpful. REALLY well done, my thanks!

Thanks...that was really helpful

Gracias, very interesting got to check it out .. 😊😊😊😊😊

thanks, especially for the Data Analysis books ❤❤

I've been on my Python learning journey for two months now, and I'm currently on Chapter 18 of the book. It's incredible how much you can grasp about syntax, coding logic, and the workings of programming through this book. I'm also wrapping up the Grokking Algorithms book, which provides a solid introduction to data structures and algorithms. Reading truly is life!

Excellent choice!!!
