Question

Can somebody please recommend me a good book to continue learning Python?

An Introduction to computer science using python 3 is best book for beginners

Mr. Shabalala I like Giorgi's recommendation, also you might want to look at "Think Python" by Allen Downey. It's a free d/l

I can't do that for you, but the best way to learn Python is code Python... :-D

Answer 4

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it, but could you also please advise then on a platform that I can use to continue my development because I am still novice in a way and I feel like what I have learnt here is just the tip of the iceberg. I tried looking on the internet but nothing. Thank you.

Answer 5

Hey everyone

Now, about that Python book recommendation, I've got just the one for you: "Pythonista's Delight: A Code-Hacker's Guide to Python." Trust me, this book is no ordinary read; it's a thrilling adventure through Python's intricacies, peppered with anecdotes and code wizardry that will leave you spellbound.

As for my experience, learning Python has been an awe-inspiring journey. It's like taming a wild serpent of code and turning it into a charming dance partner. There were challenging moments, but the community's support and resources like these have been my guiding stars. I myself am constantly learning new things about Python and it inspires me. For example, the last thing I found interesting was this article: https://www.pythoncentral.io/python-for-cybersecurity-5-innovative-ways-to-empower-your-business The topic is intriguing, isn't it?

To Mfundo Shabalala, thank you for your phenomenal work, and keep spreading the Python love! As they say, "May your code be bug-free and your programs run with the speed of a cheetah chasing its prey."
