  • I have some experience with C++ before, I recently have been using python to built an engineering application for my company, I absolutely love python. So far I have been writing my code and getting help from python documentation. I m interested to buy these books. Thanks for your video.

    As someone who is currently reading a java beginner book, I will say that the books are the best way to get a foundational understanding. I was taking courses online and those helped, but I really wanted to get straight to what I had set out to do. I know this is not relevant to Python; however, I do strongly recommend reading a book over getting a course. They're more inexpensive, and give a stronger sense of learning. That's where all the knowledge is at anyway for the most part. I just ordered a MYSQL book for less than ten dollars and the book I have now that is by Packt is helpful. I am by all means a complete novice; yet, I already feel much more knowledgeable about the topics I knew nothing about previously even if it's just something small.
  • Very informative, thanks for posting! Your content really helped me find myself as a new Tech Youtuber that switched careers to the tech industry recently. Keep doing what you do!

    Hey Giles! Your video lessons are awesome! And it seems like you definitely know a whole lot about all of this, but I am feeling like I am lacking a decent overview in terms of IT Fundamentals - ITF, in order to be able to keep a good overview in all things programming and career development in IT and programming. What Book(s) would you recommend for that ? Thank you for your amazing content and I'll definitely check out your courses, too, due to good teaching/learning here!
  • @kezla
    Complete beginner and bookworm here, thank you for a helpful and concise video! 🤓
  • @yardbirdmd
    What are the other books you were thinking of at 0:50 that are "more computer science"?
  • Python Crash Course is currently saving me after I did a term on programming fundamentals with Python and came out not knowing a thing. I'm at lists (chapter 3) and I have never understood concepts this clearly in my academic life.
  • Is there anything you can recommend for python and working with API and JSON? Automating stuff on services which provide an API?
  • @wartem
    For intermediate level I love the books "Fluent Python" and "Python tricks the book".
  • @wartem
    Tips on books for programmers moving into Python is appreciated
