I use paper copies of the books too, I find pdf's very hard to use when learning but read other books as these. So tend to use the paper books. I have this stand for whichever book I use it has two bars to hold it open on the page you choose I put this next to the monitor to its right then I can read from it and the screen, with no light or info changes on screen. It has been really useful. You can tilt the angle of it there are steps/slots at the back and a bar to slot in to whichever angle you want.
Cracking Codes with Python is interesting it has a lot of historical information of how code was used for privacy and the methods. One day I'll get around to going to visit Bletchley Park, I liked the Drama show about it too. It was where they cracked the codes in WW2, one group of the crackers were all women.
Other Python books I have are -
The definitive Guide Series - Python - the beginners guide, I have used a fair amount of this.
Make games with Python - it is a Raspberry Pi book, available free as a pdf too, on MagPi website.
Think Python - O'Reilly
My partner got me these ones at christmas and said to do them in this order after all of the first books above -
Effective Computation in Physics
Learning Python
Programming Python
Python Pocket Reference
The Learning & Programming Python books are aka "the pink kettle bells", as this is what I was told was inside the box, my extraction of info is obviously in serious need of improvement based on that fail lol.
