The book does an excellent job of explaining the basics of the Python language as well as delving into the intermediate level for those with some coding experience already. For a beginner looking for somewhere to start Python is an excellent learning language and this book is an invaluable resource.

#8 High Performance Web Sites by Steve Souders
Fast websites rule the search results and increase customer engagement. So why does it take the average web page over 22 seconds to render today? Its because most web developers have not read High Performance Web Sites. This is the canonical book on web performance optimization. Even though it was released a decade ago the research and techniques shared by Steve can be applied to most websites to improve their page speed. Developers should use this book as a baseline reference to audit and test their websites for quality before they deploy.
