For me best way to learn is to use it actually :) Especially on homework and
projects. Mailing lists are also very helpful as you are already doing.
Try with ipython --pylab option.
Also check SciPy09 (http://conference.scipy.org/SciPy2009/) videos. There
are one introductory and advanced tutorials that you can see online (without
registering) or downloading to your computer.
