Python Without Fear

Python Without Fear will be the ideal book for people who've programming in any language before—such as C, C++, Basic, or Java—and want to learn Python as painlessly and reliably as possible. It will also provide an easy-to- read guide explaining how Python works under the covers. In short, it's the ideal beginner-to- intermediate Python book.
