Trent, You can do well with Alan's on-line pages ( http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/) and just ask questions here. The biggest thing is to pick a big enough but not too big project. Using Python as your first programming language will spoil you, though, it's a great language and covers a lot of options.
