Wow! What a wealth of knowledge. Thank you all so very much...
I am going to continue with the "learn python the hard way" book and then try to tackle a Django book and THEN try and crash some meetups! Again, thank you so much! This developer community is amazing. I am excited to geek out with you guys in the near future.
