Hello all,
Looking for some recommendations on books for Python in order to prepare for the scripting class coming soon at WGU.
Want to get a jump start and get comfortable with using Python in Linux.
Thanks ahead of time.

I recommend, Introducing Python. Modern Computing in Simple Packages by Bill Lubanovic which includes information on how to install Python if you need it.
The book is aimed at beginners but although I had some familiarity with the language, I still found it to be a good read and still use it as a reference. -

I'd recommend https://www.codeschool.com/learn/python
I used it and honestly it truly cemented Python for me and was very quick to get through. From there you can google and hack away at code with a very firm base.WIP:
PHP
Kotlin
Intro to Discrete Math
Programming Languages
