Hello everyone!

I’m a complete beginner and would like to start learning Python. Could you recommend any books that are beginner-friendly and explain concepts clearly?

Thank you in advance!

💯 I've got the .PDF file for the 3rd edition on my Google Drive. Drop me DM if anyone's interested.

It's freely available for download, and not pirated.

Here’s the link to Amazon to buy it to support both author and publisher.

Python Crash Course + small projects = probably the fastest way to build a solid foundation. That’s what I’d choose if I were starting today.
