the community is interested in knowing how new members came to the Python family. :-) sounds like you're new to programming. there are few good books on this subject: - Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science (John Zelle) - Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner (Michael Dawson) - Python For Dummies (Stef and Aahz Maruch) - How To Think Like a Computer Scientist (Allen Downey, Jeffrey Elkner, Chris Meyers) - Introduction to Computing and Programming in Python (Mark Guzdial) - Learn to Program Using Python (Alan Gauld) - Python: Visual QuickStart Guide (Chris Fehily) there are also some great online tutorials: - Python.org tutorial http://docs.python.org/tut - Instant Hacking http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php - How to Think Like a Computer Scientst http://openbookproject.net/thinkCSpy/ - Learning to Program http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/ here is a link to a more comprehsnvie list of Python-related tutorials: - Python Tutorials http://awaretek.com/tutorials.html cheers, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
