Its really for existing programmers. Its a great book though so once you get over the initial hurdle go back and read it ahain. > note that resources on the python.org website, All the tutorials on the Non Programmers web site have their own flavour(*) and what suits one person won't suit another. Pay a visit to a few, try out a topic or two and pick your favourite. Ask questions here.... (*)For instance, my tutor majors on teaching programming per se rather than Python specifically. It uses 3 languages to reinforce the common concepts. Other tutorials are much more focused on Pythonb itself, maybe with a partiucular style of programming in mind... > I should be able to print it in small chunks Each topic in mine is a separate html file, or you can get the PDF version (although it tends to be updated less often than the main text). If you do print it all out it now comes to around 400 pages! > Finally, I should add that I am happy to purchase a book if necessary. You should never say that to an author, but.... my tutorial is available in dead tree format too (and as such is Python specific).
