Comment on Zed Shaw is Writing A Book Teaching Beginner Python

Comments

skimming thru it now, pretty amusing in parts ... from the beginning of chapter 5:

Every programming language has some kind of way of doing numbers and math. Don’t worry, programmers lie frequently about being math geniuses when they really aren’t. If they were math geniuses, they would be doing math not writing ads and social network games to steal people’s money.

jokes aside, this could serve as a good syllabus for giving classroom Python tutorials for absolute beginners
