Python Book Bundle -- Game Development, Math, Minecraft Programming and More. (Watch for Dupes!)

There is a new Humble of interest to game developers, the Learn You More Python Bundle from No Starch press. There are a decent number of game development and math books in this bundle if you are interested in learning or teaching Python programming.

I don't know the others but automating the boring stuff is awesome. I wish we had a book like that for every programming language, specially a few evil ones... Looking at you, C++.

Yes we've seen them twice (all the books in this bundle). It's a good bundle if you haven't already picked it up but I picked it up probably 6 months ago.

Still waiting for "Cracking knuckles with Python".

Kinda feels like the books you'd have in your bookshelf if you lived in Vault 101.
Not criticizing it. It's just the covers remind me of it. :D

I'm not sure but I think previous bundles only included the first edition of Crash Course and Automate The Boring Stuff.

controversial opinion: Python is not a good language. And it's often advice as a first programming language but I wouldn't recommend it as a first. You'll run into the same problem I did when I first learned how to program through python. Everyone does what they want, too many options and no standard way of doing things. Your code doesn't work when you know that everything is right, so you have to dumpster dive through google searches to land on forums just to find a single hacky way of changing, you'll get tired of reporting the bug every time. Not to mention its slow, and when you apply for jobs, they'll be wondering why you spent all your time on it rather than learning Javascript and Nodejs or swift, angular, java or even golang ect. Unless you're strictly targeting some data scientist position. It's nice to know for its fast scripting capabilities but I wouldn't specialize in it.
