Well it is from Microsoft...so mostly not.
However, I thought maybe it would lead to something that might help.

It probably was accurate during beta testing. Now, a few releases and updates later - I would be seriously surprised if it was.

That's just cruel. With an adequately hard desk, at least you have the bliss of unconsciousness to look forward to.

Hi All,
I looks like I will be forced down the snake route, so as some one who has an ammount of Vis Studio experience (VB, VB.NET, C#) and a very solid background in C is there a route other than the Python for Beginners book I have gone through that basically give you an overview and simple examples rather than this is how you automate X with it. I mean I can write a text adventure, not automate things.

This may help: Amazon[^] Chapter nineteen seems particularly relevant from what I've seen of Python so far.

Dive Into Python - either for Python3 or Python2. IMO, Python3 is preferable - it's just about become the mainstream Python version - after nearly a decade since the first 3.0 release...
In addition - use tools like PyLint to check your code for issues that won't be found until runtime (if you're lucky!)... My favoured setup is to use Visual Studio Code, as it has a solid Python extension builtin (IIRC - easy enough to install if not) with pylint for checking and autopep8 to format my code (although yapf looks like it might do a more aesthetically pleasing job... Have to look at that!).
And then you'll want to get familiar with pip, or something slightly more sophisticated like pipenv.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I only found this *after* actually learning and using Python for some time: Obey The Testing Goat[^]. But I think it's a fantastic resource, not only for learning Python but for learning how to take a test-first approach.

The first thing you need to know is that you are in luck. You may not know this, but you are. Visual Studio has some really good (and free) Python tools. Actually, they are excellent. They may or may not be better than PyCharm and PyDev (I have never used either of them enough to say). However, if you already know VS, stick with it. For the record, I love VS (for C and C++) and Eclipse (for Java).
As for books, I used two books. First, I read was "Python for Dummies" (no kidding). It helped a lot. Then I obtained (as a reference work), "Python Essential Reference (4th Edition)" by David Beazley.
Compared to C/VB/VB.NET/C#, Python is easy. The VS tools, make it even easier.

My friend inherited a Joomla website for a theater group and needs to modify it or start over. It needs to do PayPal, sell theater tickets. She used to be very technical. I figure the PHP in Joomla should be easy enough for here. Does anyone have any other suggestions though or useful thoughts... Maybe just funny ones? I can't really tell her how much I like MVC with .NET core. It wouldn't help.
