Eric Pimpler's book, </SPAN><A href="http://www.packtpub.com/programming-arcgis-10-1-with-python-cookbook/book">Programming ArcGIS 10.1 with Python</A><SPAN> is a good follow-up once you have some of the basics down, and if you do decide to learn more Python, consider reading </SPAN><A href="http://learnpythonthehardway.org/">Learn Python the Hard Way</A><SPAN>, which is free online with an optional for-pay video guide.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>cheers,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Shaun</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 07 Jul 2013 16:39:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-start-learnig-python/m-p/46819#M3759 ShaunWalbridge 2013-07-07T16:39:04Z Re: How to start learnig Python https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-start-learnig-python/m-p/46820#M3760 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks guys. Hopefully the company will pony up for the book. I should have been clearer before. What I really want to be able to do is have a better command of the operators, like labeling every 10th row, like selecting out rows in attributte tables things like this. From there I could move on to more complex tasks. Would this book provide me such a stepped approach?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:45:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-start-learnig-python/m-p/46820#M3760 DXXX 2013-07-08T06:45:00Z Re: How to start learnig Python https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-start-learnig-python/m-p/46821#M3761 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>you need the basics first, then check the scripts on ArcGISOnline and this forum for specific postings.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:25:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-start-learnig-python/m-p/46821#M3761 DanPatterson_Retired 2013-07-08T19:25:02Z
