OP, if you are looking for specific recommendations, this book is free and good: http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/

If you want to learn web programming, follow it up with this one that is also free: http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000000754/index.ht...

Thanks, I have seen the first book before. The second one looks interesting. I think TDD is a good concept especially from an API design point of view.

For me, the biggest benefit of TDD is it helps me stay focused by creating a similar challenge-effort-success loop to a video game.
