Python & Ubuntu

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, I am looking for a decent book/website to help me learn both python and ubuntu. I know just enough to be dangerous but would like something to actually teach me how to use both/either. Any suggestions?

Here is a great intro to python very hands on.
http://www.learnpython.org/

Google also has one however I haven't tried this one: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs ... troduction

Also the official docs are a good starting point https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial

That should keep you nice and busy for a while.

Ubuntu is similar to other Debian based distros, although it's a bit is different from the RHEL based distros, especially since RHEL 7 now uses Systemd as it's default. However somewhat a bit closer to the source based ones like Gentoo & Source Mage. Take Look a distrowatch.com for details . If your completely new to Linux and like a minimalist & easy to use Linux try Elementary OS (Which is based off of Ubuntu). Linux in general has a learning curb so it could be overwhelming to get indept with both projects at the exact same time. However they are both well worth learning.

This also looks interesting for $50

I don't think there is much to learning Ubuntu; it's basically just a different GUI overlying the linux kernel. I "learned it" by simply installing and using it.

There are a lot of free programming books online. I probably have dozens. PM me if you want links, some are offered freely directly from the publishers. I've seen a lot of Python books.

codecademy.com has some pretty useful beginner tutorials on Python.

Thanks. The Code academy looks pretty decent. I also found a couple books online since the post. Thanks again!
