Hi all. I'm a long time Pythonista and co-founder of http://ShowMeDo.com/ (and author of 140 of the Python tutorials there), I'm here with an idea...
Recently I've started to follow a couple of email lists that send me regular tip emails, I've found them to be rather nice - an easy to read tip that comes every week that I can digest when I'm ready and I can reference afterwards. I don't recall ever coming across a Python Learners tip series in this format and I'm guessing it would be well received. Could I get some feedback please? I've already planned a set of 10 weekly tips (each about 5 paragraphs of text plus code examples) covering a bunch of things that are useful for a new Python programmer. Some are about the 'right' way to write Python code, some introduce neat modules (like Excel, web scraping, processes), some show you how to do complex stuff (like 3D, web servers and faster mathematics) in just a few lines of Python. It would also be quite nice to wrap up some of the oft-asked Python Tutor questions into the tips (I always meant to create some ShowMeDo videos covering these problems but never had the time :-( ). Before proceeding I'd like to do a sanity check - has anyone done this already? I'd hate to re-invent the wheel! Assuming it hasn't been done - would *you* choose to subscribe to the list (it would be free, just an email, nothing complex and no spam/sillyness)? Just say 'yes' if so, that way I know there's an audience. If the interest is good then I'll extend the series of 10 and introduce some guest authors into the mix. Any takers?
