Computational Introduction to Computational Physics Texts?

[Yosty22]

Hi all,

I'm starting graduate school and really need a better handle on computational physics. I'm not extremely experienced with MATLAB and haven't used Python or anything else. Does anyone know a good textbook to get me started? I looked in the textbooks links to this forum thread and the "Introduction to Computational Physics" link doesn't work (404 error).

If you can't suggest any textbooks, how would you recommend me beginning to learn and get a handle on computational physics? Thanks in advanced!
