Welcome to Python! And congratulations for having a great advisor ;)

 
 So far, I've liked the

 basics.

Are you asking for more suggestions?

take a look at how to think like a computer scientist by downey,
elkner, etc.  it was originally written for C++ and Java but Jeff
Elkner, a high school programming AP instructor, ported it to Python.

there are dead tree and online versions available.

[Tutor] Senior Project With Python

2006-01-23 Thread derroach
Greetings!

My name is Deric Roach, and I am a senior at Sterling High School in Sterling,
Kansas. This year, the school is conducting senior projects. For my senior
project, I have decided to learn the python programming language and design a
simple (yet amusing) role-playing game. For the undertaking, I must find a
mentor to assist my development, guide my progress, and prepare me for the
final presentation of the finished product. This mentor is to put in around 10
hours of service from now until the end of April, at which point the projects
will be completed. I would like to find somebody who would be willing to help
me out and adopt the title of mentor. You don't necessarily have to be
fluent in Python, but you must be able to give me guidance in the way of
programming and/or game development. If you live farther away than is of
convenience, we could maintain an e-mail partnership. A thank you all, and to
all a thank you.

Respectfully,
Deric E. Roach
