This book teaches Python via 52 exercises. The idea is that you read them; type their code precisely (no copying and pasting!); fix your mistakes; then watch the programs run. As you do, author Zed Shaw shows you how a computer works; what good programs look like; and how to read, write, and think about code. .
<ASIN:0134692888>
The book is accompanied by 5+ hours of video where the author shows you how to break, fix, and debug your code—live, as he’s doing the exercises.
