Learn Python The Hard Way: a new book by Zed Shaw
A nice quote from the last chapter:<p><i>Programming as a profession is only moderately interesting. It can be a good job, but if you want to make about the same money and be happier you could actually just go run a fast food joint. You are much better off using code as your secret weapon in another profession.</i><p>Well said, Zed. Very well said indeed.
