One of the hallmarks of successful developers is continuous learning.

The best developers I know don't just keep learning.

It's one of the things that drives them.

That's why I'm excited to bring you this episode on 10 books Python developers should read.

You'll meet Timo Kola, who is an avid reader and self-learning in the Python space.

He's found 10 books from his experience that have had a huge effect on him,

and we'll discuss those now. This is Talk Python to Me. Episode 130 recorded July 18th,

2017.

Music Welcome to Talk Python to me, a weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries, the ecosystem, and the personalities.

This is your host, Michael Kennedy. Follow me on Twitter where I'm at M. Kennedy.

Talk Python to me is partially supported by our training courses.

Have you tried to learn Python but got stuck or lost focus?

We know how it feels to try and jam fact after fact, loop construct after turn hair expression into your head. At best, it's boring. At worst, it can turn you off

programming altogether. That's why we built our course. Python jumpstart by building 10 apps.

This course guides you through carefully planned applications. It starts simple, but progresses to quite real apps.

Best of all, you won't be learning dry facts.

You'll be learning like the pros do by building real applications and learning in context.

If you want to start building with Python, just visit talk python.fm slash course to get started.

Timo, welcome to Talk Python.

Thank you.
