By accident I found this link. http://www.pauahtun.org/TYPython/
That quote where from the Good Reading site. But I thought that a link to his own site would be okay too. Now as all of you know. I can not even "program" how to get my Microwave oven to cook myself a nice cup of Coffee. So this is me wanting all of us to share our experiences of these books that teach such things as computer languages. I love such but have no brain for it. So have you read the book or others about Python and what did you think of the book. Was it helpful? Is he maybe even active here in the forum? _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |

Which book 
I was visiting the website Teach Yourself Python in 24 Hours. The first "hour" took me 2 minutes The next "hour" took me 2 minutes and the decision: not for you and me: they want you to learn python in a DOS box  
But there is a puppy scool somewhere in the web

Oh so typical me I trusted it where for Unix and Linux. They wrote this about the author of the book. "Ivan Van Laningham. ... is a senior software engineer for Callware technologies, Inc. where he provides Web server and Unix assistance" Okay they did not mention Linus there but Linux and Unix is kind of related Teasing smile. _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |

Actually I didn't even notice that you had misspelled it -I just thought, well for some people that would be a more reasonable goal... |

You don't go to java to roast your beans? 
I am very impressed that you are trying to learn parseltongue. http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Parseltongue Have you got devx going straight into Idle? You should be all set . . . get that microsoft microwave coffee on . . . Have you done a loop yet? You could do 108 virtual Buddhist mantras . . .(for example) . . . before we know it, you will be hosting the Nooby guide to Python . . . To celebrate I am creating this serpentile offering http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PythonLearn
