There are a lot of books on Bookshare purporting to teach you Python<br>
programming. I've read some of them, and they are a mixed bag in terms of their usefulness<br>
from Bookshare, primarily because for the ones I selected, the illustrative examples were not<br>
included in the Bookshare package. What I suggest is combing through that list and downloading<br>
ones which look interesting and keep working through the list until you find one where the<br>
examples are accessible and the prose makes sense to you. Some of the books assume you already<br>
know how to program in other languages and some will teach you basic programming skills, using<br>
Python as a starter language. If you are not already a programmer, I suggest one of these<br>
beginner books. To make it more interesting for yourself and to help you focus on what you<br>
need to learn, I suggest thinking of a small scope task you'd like to automate and reading with<br>
the intention of learning how to complete that task.<br>
<br>
Hope this is helpful.<br>
