Are books or online help for software development is better
<p>I am trying to learn Python all by myself and same for other new technologies. So who is my best helper - books that describes good projects or an online documentation? Strictly speaking online documentation is never complete or talks depth enough that one can easily master the platform.</p>

<p>My vote finally ends in books - so which one I should read (is there any good online documentation that I can follow and on completion state - "I know Python" - I would rather not try books then)?</p>

<p>Needless to state online help like this site is a great help for assistance but for learning I believe we still need a good tutor who can explain things in between lines?</p>

<p>Is such a help available for us – preferably volunteer.</p>

<p>I might sound silly but from 0th level to 2nd level ... where I learn from crawling to running and then the speed itself lets me go .. I need a tutor, good book and a good tutor?</p>

<p>Is there such a help available OR what’s the best way to learn &amp; master the technology? Doing a sample “Hello World” or a UI interface using Django is just not helping me out ..</p>
