Reading is fine, but you really need to be writing code to cement your knowledge. I find it very helpful if I have a projcet of some kind to work on if I'm learning something new.

Well, look around yourself. Is there anything that you do which might benefit from some basic programming? For example, I play ultimate frisbee. So my "learn python" project was to create a CGI system for handling the ultimate leagues here in Wellington (displaying this week's games, recording scores, calculating leaderboards, etc). The code I produced is not a model for anyone on this list to look at, but it did get me into the language :-) -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
