#3: Other programming languages

When it comes to teaching programming concepts, there’s more
than enough to cover without trying to cover multiple programming
languages.
We like Python and hope over the course of this book that you’ve
grown to like Python, too. However, if you want to explore or need to
learn another programming language, there’s lots of help out there.
Simply going to your favorite search engine and typing in the name of
your chosen programming language produces a torrent of sites offering
to provide you with everything you need to know.
Two modern languages that are important are Java and C#. And
guess what? If you have to learn these technologies, Head First Labs has
you covered.

An absolute
classic, now
in its Second
Edition Very good, too

Having completed this book, you can now pick up either of these books
and confidently work your way through them.

Of course, if you find yourself working in a Java or C# programming
environment and missing Python, don’t despair. Two active projects
within the Python Community integrate Python with the above
programming languages and are well worth checking out (search on the
project name to learn more):

Run Python code
within the Java
Virtual Machine.
Integrate Python
with C# and .NET.
