full-speed-python

Well, you can try my "Full Speed Python" book [1]. Each chapter shows the minimal syntax needed for the chapter content, and then it has some exercises to get you going. I use it to teach Python to my Distributed Computing course students (2nd year students, which come mostly from a Java and C background). The first chapters are mostly for beginners, so I guess you can skip them if you want. I also talk about more advanced concepts on the later chapters (such as iterators, generators, coroutines and asyncio). You can get the epubs/pdfs from [2]..

Changed the book title to "Getting up to speed with Python" which is a more accurate title for what I wanted to write. Made a new release with a few corrections and the new title at https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/releases Cannot change anymore the title or the link on HN though..

Nice book. The simplicity of the build system for epub is impressive: https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/blob/master...

I've included a pandoc generated epub at https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/releases/

I've included a pandoc generated epub and it seems ok on my computer, would anyone be able to test it on a epub device to see if it works ok? https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/releases/
