@ lee cohen

i suggest going onto a bit torrent site and downloading some python books.
there are also numerous websites that will give you a pretty decent run
through

my basic suggestion is find material that you have easy access to and dont
have to give up after a few weeks (like from a friend or from a library).
Once you get into the "studying groove" you dont want to lose any momentum.
