The book you've all been waiting for, when you've not been waiting for Mark Pilgrim's.

I'm ridiculously excited that the book I co-authored with Tim Hall, Python 3 For Absolute Beginners, has been published. Apress very kindly sent me some complimentary copies last week and I immediately took photos of it and posted them on Flickr.

The book's aimed at those learning to program, through the medium of Python 3, rather than those already experienced in Python 2.x.
