Hi All,
I'm interested in learning Python and thought I'd ask the PLUG
brain trust on some recommendations for books.
My main interest in learning Python is more for data analysis
(Statistics, AI, etc), not web programming. I'm a SQL Server
DBA/Developer and recent versions of SQL Server have the ability
to run Python within the database engine as another avenue for
data analysis. I'm also interested in moving toward more data
analysis/BI roles and Python fits the bill quite well. I have 20
years of DBA experience, so I don't necessarily need beginner
level programming books. But having said that, I have no
experience with Python at all.
I've found countless video tutorials on Python (Pluralsight, EdX,
Coursera, etc.), but I still prefer book learning, especially
books that teach a concept and then give you "homework"
assignments to practice.
Any recommendation on Python books for programming (not website
stuff, though) would be very much appreciated.
Also, recommendations for an IDE on Windows would be appreciated.
I already use VS Code for Powershell development, so maybe that
will be ok for Python?
Thanks,
Peter
