3 Python Tutorials and a Style Guide
Python is a great programming language to learn if you are new to programming
and application development. Python is relatively easy to understand
and learn, and it gives you, the programmer, advanced features
that are easy to use. The Python programming language offers clear
syntax, which help you start developing real world and practical
modules and objects.
Here are three excellent Python
Tutorials for beginners and non-programmers to get started
with programming using Python. The first two are written by Brian
Wisti, and the third is written by Guido van Rossum of the
Python
Software Foundation These tutorials will give you the
necessary knowledge and understanding to start writing programs with
Python and also where to find further information about Python. Also
included here is the Python Style Guide by Guido van Rossum.
Tutorial 1: Python

2: Simple
Types in Python
This tutorial introduces
and teaches variables and types in the Python language. It
shows you how to use variables for storing and retrieving information.
And it also gets into types, which computer languages
utilize for knowing the difference between numbers
and words.
