>> I probably won't need to start writing classes but I really want to >> finish the book before I start coding something.
One of the greatest mistakes of my life was to completely finish a programming book before I started coding something. It is why I cannot write a Visual Basic program to this day, even though I read through an absolutely excellent book. I even said to myself, "This will totally help me write Visual Basic programs as easily as I write Python programs". So instead, I learned C. Always, always write code as you read a book. If it is a good book/programming language, you should be able to write working programs with increasing complexity as you continue in the book. Also, it is a good idea to periodically go back and observe code that you have written in the past and revise it to better reflect the skills you garner later. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
