[Cialug] Becoming a python expert

[c]

I have been disappointed with a lot of the resources I have tried so far.

The best I have found has been an early release book which I have only
gotten a little into:
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028659.do

Team Treehouse has a python class that they should release in the next 3 or
4 weeks and I have really been enjoying their video, quiz, coding activity

I also picked up the Python Cookbook, since I seem to do better with give
me a concrete problem and walk me through ways to solve it for learning
something.
