Generally good choices. I don't prefer PHP, however. For somebody who is learning programming, it encourages sloppy programming. I would suggest that you use PyDev (http://pydev.sourceforge.net/), a Python plugin for Eclipse, for Python programming. It is a helpful environment, especially for somebody already using Eclipse. For resources, I suggest you take a look at http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers which is for non-programmers. If you feel like checking other resources, more are linked to http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide . Best luck, k -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
