I was wondering if you can share what was the strategy you followed
to master Python
I started with Python 1.3 around early 1998 but switched to 1.5 very
soon after.
I started with the standard tutorial (I was already a pro programmer
so
it was easy to follow) then implemented some of my Perl and awk tools
in Python for comparison's sake and just to gain some experience.
I then bought a book by Guido which was adequate but not really
well related to the programming things I do. I also bought the
original
Programming Python O'Reilly book and found it more helpful.
Then around that time I was invited to review Grayson's Tkinter
book - I'm not sure why, because I was still a Python newbie
and only average on Tcl/Tk... I found Grayson's book more
advanced than the stuff I'd been doing and it pushed me to explore
new areas. I still refer to it regularly.
Then I decided to write a tutorial on learning to program and chose
Python as the preferred language. I also discovered the tutor list
about the same time. The rest is history... or at least the list
archive :-)
