![Computer Networking Bible: [3 in 1] The Complete Crash Course to Effectively Design, Implement and Manage Networks. Including Sections on Security, Performance and Scalability](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41H4YJnxKgL._AC_SR100,100_QL65_.jpg)
One of the best books I've read on programming so far. It's well written, easy to understand, very affordable, and there are some extra resources available to you as well, which I found really useful.
The only caveat I would give is that this may not be the best choice for the math-averse, as many of the exercises involve dealing with math problems. I would not consider myself particularly mathematically inclined and can still get through them with some effort, and enjoy the challenge of learning something new and putting some long-unused brain cells to work, but it may be frustrating if you really hate math. There is always the option to skip exercises you don't like, of course.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in programming, or wanting to learn Python, beginners included. I had a little programming experience coming in, and breezed through the first few chapters, but the exercises quickly build in difficulty so even after a few chapters, I think all but quite experienced programmers will find some that are challenging and help you build proficiency in the language.

I think, therefore I am
The change was subtle at first; flipping each page and reading each line, day after day. It was when I reached the 6th chapter that the evolution moved from metal to a physical realization. I prefer my sun drenched back porch to my cold office, my skin is segmented into hexagonal scales, and my wife loves the new fork in my tongue. Out of five dead mice, I give it a ten and that’s saying something because we are talking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for at least a week.
