a couple of other sources of video learning (DISCLAIMER: the 1st is from my employer, and the 2nd is from me -- the intention is to provide alternatives not shameless self-promotion so please don't take it that way!):
1. Google offers an internal Python training class to its employees. it's a 2-day course designed to teach existing programmers how to code in Python, covering syntax, data structures, etc. (it's not deep and thorough like the course i teach publicly but it may be just what you need.) i volunteer to deliver it a couple of times a year. anyway, you can get all the course contents, exercises, and a lively delivery by my colleague Nick Parlante (recorded a few years ago) across 7 videos which span both days here: http://code.google.com/edu/languages/google-python-class 2. a few years ago, i was asked to do a video version of my public course blended with material from the "Core Python Programming" book. the primary target audience includes existing programmers who need to learn Python (2.x & 3.x) quickly and comprehensively via video lectures (as opposed to the "show-me-do" style of onscreen hacking -- which is *also* a viable way of learning but just not for everyone). some people prefer the lecture-style, so if you do, then you may wish to consider it. i made the mistake of not being more public about this early on, hence some of the not-so-great Amazon reviews. :P anyway, if you're interested, you can get a free video clip here: http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=9780137143412. (the editors left some of my bleeping bloopers in the DVD, so it may be entertaining to you at my expense.) another free preview of my teaching style (if you want to learn about Python Generators) can be found at http://cyberwebconsulting.com cheers, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "A computer never does what you want... only what you tell it." wesley chun : wescpy at gmail : @wescpy/+wescpy Python training & consulting : CyberwebConsulting.com "Core Python" books : CorePython.com Python blog: wescpy.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
