Learn Python with "Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes" - Getting Started

I found an excellent link that has recommendations for Python books. Looks like the most of the books are well rated on Amazon and I thought that I would start learning Python with little more focus and discipline.

First I would like to get started with the book "Python Crash Course" by Eric Matthes. The book promises that it would be a crash course with a hands-on approach with three projects after learning the basics of Python. I feel that it would be easier for me to boot-up in Python using this book by doing some projects. I expect to complete this book in 3-4 weeks time (depends on how much time that I am going to devote and most likely I will utilize my weekends).

As usual, I prefer reading this book twice and do things as I read the book the first time. The second reading is to fill the gaps and to ensure that I do not miss anything and probably refactor the code I have written. After I complete the book, I will write a full review of the book with pointers to the source code of the projects in a public repository like GIT and give my feedback on whether this book satisfied my expectations (I am also planning to write short summaries of chapters - what I learned, what I felt interesting and what is boring)

My expectations - Learn Python, interesting to read, interesting projects to do, some advice to programmers new to Python, Fast track my Python boot-up and guidance to go to next level in Python

Let me see whether this book satisfies me.
