I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi to use for a LED project. Does anyone have any recommendations on a book to get for learning Python? I have previous experience in C++, Java and VBA so I'm not starting from scratch but I'd like a good book as a reference.
 
I really like Python Cookbook.

Got it from amazon. Treated me very well.
 
Learning Python, by Mark Lutz. I think the 5th edition is the most current. That book can get you started from scratch. Python Cookbook is great if you already know how to write software, but just want to figure out how to do certain common tasks in Python.
 
Kind of think that with prior coding experience, you may just be better off, for the start at least, just working out a small project, working on that and googling for assistance. Worry about more advanced language features later.
 
The Quick Python Book is excellent for Python 3.x. The ebook is somewhere around $30 (I remember) but it is worth it for very good book for anyone with high level programming experience.
 
their is a series of videos on youtube here for free and will probably show you everything you need to know
