I've gotten off to a good start for programming using Python (my first programming language). I can do the basics (different kinds of loops, variables, functions), but I'm not too good with classes yet. I've written some really small programs just for kicks (most involve statistics of different situations using random numbers).
I'd like to get to the next level, but I'm not sure how. Are there any suggestions for continuing to learn? How did you guys learn?
Where programming's concerned it's never too soon to start reading other people's code, and fortunately there's a huge amount of Python about and available as open source.
I personally learned a lot by reading the Python library sources that come with most present-day releases, and by lurking on comp.lang.python and seeing what was discussed. Now I have less time I still lurk, but there's always something going on.
Finally, don't be afraid to think about problems you don't yet know how to solve. Stretch to grow.
