I'm new to coding. Should I study python also with a book?

Hello,

I kinda wonder if the treehouse course is enough for now, as a beginner , or should I simultaneously use a book such as "Learning Python" with it?

I would be grateful for any personal experiences or advice about this issue.

Thank you.

It depends on the person, but I prefer interactive learning over reading a book. I usually try to shoot for 80% of my time working on code (and troubleshooting the problem or finding the right syntax with a simple google search) while the other 20% of my time reading materials

Personally, I feel that the Treehouse content is enough to make most people comfortable and productive with Python. There are, however, some really good Python books out there. The one I recommend the most is Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes.
