Swaroop has updated his book Byte of Python - this is the book which most of my students read at the beginning of their journey into Python-land!
Check out Swaroop’s blog entry regarding the update to get a feel of the impact which a free book can have - here is one incidence which Swaroop mentions:
A person in Vienna, Austria changed his career from a sys-admin job which he didn’t like, to teaching children about programming, a job he loves. Wow! Again, this is so humbling. I could have never imagined that a small book can make such a difference.
Yes, small books can make a difference - and a lot of people now have a chance to do just that! Swaroop’s experience also sums up why people write Free Software - You can Have Fun, and Make A Difference! Isn’t that a wonderful thing?
