Daily Deal: Using Python For Data Analysis And More…
from the good-deals-on-cool-stuff dept
If you haven’t heard of Python as an incredibly useful programming language, then go ahead and ignore the rest of this. However, if you’re interested in learning a bit more about Python, and you want to skip the tedious task of looking up how-to videos on your own — check out our $29 deal for a Python programming course bundle. This deal includes six courses for Python, introducing Python to beginners and covering data visualization with Python and Matplotlib. One of the courses also walks you through how to create a Flappy Bird game clone (but obviously not how to create a viral hit game).

Can you recommend some absolute beginners books on programing?
And what would you recommend for Java?
Re: recommendations
Not to use Java. If you’re interested in a high-level, strongly-typed OOP language, go with C#.
Personally, I love Python. It’s a great language for beginners, and well suited for everything from simple scripting to heavy data processing. Only drawback is mediocre GUI tooling. For GUI applications I use C# for frontend coding and have all the logic in Python.
Python 2 Or Python 3?
I can’t find any details on what version of Python is being used.
I ask because there is still an awful lot of promotion of obsolete versions of Python around.

A quick search on the provider, Stone River…

It looks like Python 3.
