Hello fellow lemmians (I hope that is correct), I want to learn a programming language in my free time, like a hobby and not necessarly for work. I think a general purpose language like python would be a good choice. I'm the type who prefer paperback books to minimize distraction and I would like your recommendation for a book, Im thinking about "Python crash course 3d edition" but feel free to suggest something else

Python crash course 3d edition will serve you well. While you're waiting for it to arrive, start working with the free lessons on Kaggle for Python:
