Can someone recommend a python book to learn python?
I've obtained more than 100 python ebooks which contained a wide variety of lessons. I started with one book the other night and diligently read about 30 pages only to do the "hello world" classic first batch program. I was bored already. The only thing I thought up to create, and be helpful to me, was an audit app to verify services are up and running. I starred at the screen for about 5 minutes not knowing how to do this in python, and finally closed it thinking I can do this with BASH any time.
I know I need to learn more languages to build my Linux skills, but what makes python so great?
Currently I'm pretty good with BASH and know some PHP, especially in scripting, but starting to forget it. I seem to favour scripting languages, but I would like to learn more. Should I even bother with Python right now?
I read PHP has similarities to C, if so, maybe I should pursue C instead?
