Good intro to power features of Sublime Text editor. While the chapter on testing covers Python, the following chapter on debugging using Sublime doesn't include Python, which is puzzling. Overall a good place to start exploring the power of Sublime.

Very very terse, there is a while lot of links to read the manual. It is a good starting place, but it doesn't really cover anything in any depth.

A good start if you sit the first time in front of Sublime Text. Besides one or two tricks it doesn’t deliver much you don’t stumble upon when using Sublime for a day.
