The book is not a python book it is a Ruby Book.

I don't think that the link is correct.

It's in the syllabus under Week 1
July 16 - 20 Introduction to Python

Using Learn to Program for Python. It takes you to this book https://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ which is a ruby book.

Ilona has mentioned in the webinar just now that Learn to Program is a Ruby book, but they're applying it to Python. It's not a mistake.

Why will we use ruby book for learning python?

@GHuseynova It seems the book is being used to get a hang of the basic programming concepts like variables, conditionals, operators, loops, etc and not for the language being used in it. It seems like a beginner friendly book to get introduced to programming

Ruby is a fine language and the book is indeed great but how will new learners relate ruby to python?

The team will adapt it to Python. Ilona will follow it since it is the best intro programming book in her opinion. You can also buy a pdf of the book adapted to Python by the SOC team for about 5 dollars

I think many others mentioned not being able to see the option in the webinar and Ilona said that she and the volunteers were going to look into it. Lets wait for a response/announcement from them :)

I think this is great: we are able to learn two languages (Python and Ruby) at the same time, by comparing the book and the lectures! ;-)

Programming logic and structure will be almost same there will be only difference in syntax.
