PSA: I tried to learn Python from a 3 year old book I found in my Denver apartment and the code just wouldn't run.
Last week I dug out this old 'Learn Python' guide from a box, tried the first example, and got an error because the syntax changed, which made me realize how fast this stuff moves and you really need current resources.
Ugh, tell me about it. Had a whole project blow up because everyone was using a PDF from 2019. Found out the real deadlines changed twice since then. @sandra_murphy's right, online docs are the only way to go. Now I just bookmark the live site and skip the PDF entirely. Saves me so many headaches.
