Comment on Show HN: 100 Python books, categorized and ranked

Comments

I created PythonBooks as a side project.

The website is a guided repository of Python books and currently lists the best 100 books. It classifies these books into fine grained categories and shows the best books in each category. It has filters for Python version, free and non free books etc. For the beginner book section, you can even filter the books by topics that you want to learn.

Nitpicking, but I would suggest reversing the chronological order of Publication Year. Newer release years towards the top.

That's actually a very good point because people are more likely to look for recent books. Will change that in the next update.

Thanks for your hard work

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making the site. I am also committed to keeping it comprehensive and updated. Made a powerful admin interface so that syncing would only take about 3-4 hours per week of my time. There's about 600 Python books out there according to my best estimate, so there's a lot of ground to cover.
