I'm excited - Learn Python the Hard Way completely jumpstarted me into what has become a large internal django site, and I refer back to it often. I really enjoy python, and I thank Zed for the straightforward aproach.

So even though I love python I want to see if the same technique can introduce me again to C, a language I never felt comfortable with.

Try going through the HTML version, and drop comments when you hit problems. That'll help me make the book solid.

Are guest comments ever going to be an option? I don't really want to make a disqus account. I understand if not, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

No, I'm fully blocking and moderating comments. They are for serious students who need help, not drive-by netizens. In the past I had them open, but after the first two hits by HN or reddit I had to lock it down so that students wouldn't get thrashed.

FWIW i signed up to your udemy course, but I don't particularly feel like making a disqus account to also comment on the book, that's what's bothering me. I guess I will just abstain from commenting though, it's fair enough.

Learn Python the Hard Way is great, although I can't say I've read that many Python books, but I though his approach was a very good way to learn Python.
