Dear Friends,
I am writing for some assistence from an expert.
I give you a short background to understand my need.
(for your information I work with a macbook normally), but I do have desktop in
Microsoft)
I am not a programmer. My work has to do with old manuscripts and Philosophy.
But recently, being in need of building a web site I did learn alone some html,
dreamweaver, css and I made two web sites who came out pretty good.
So, I have done of it my hobby, since I do like web design.
But now I would like to go further, although remaining always an hobby.
I would like to learn some programming, since I wish to build a program to run
a database. Mybe more in the future if this goes well.
I have some text, several books, text format. I want to make a program to vew
and research these texts. Perhaps on a cd and on a desktop.
On the internet I have read that an easy to learn and yet powerful language to
start with is python.
Now my questions:
1) Is python enough and complete to build a simple program of the kind
deskribed above?
2) Will I be able to build standalone program with it?
2) where do I start learning? SOMETHING AS SIMPE AS POSSIBLE!
Thank you very much
Jerome
I'd suggest you check out Alan's site at
http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/
He hangs out here and you'll be able to get any additional clarification
you need.
You might also find this helpful

Finally, i'd suggest you start with python2 (vs python3) -- most of the
info you'll find on the net is python2 and not always up to date for
python3.
Good luck!
Emile
