New to Python

Hi I’m new to python and like to share my comments on it. Python has a very simple and clear syntax. And the need for indentation is very interesting compared to other languages such as c++ and Java where it just for readability. It has an excellent and easy to use list/array manipulation.

I have learnt alot about python and can't wait to learn more

Thanks,
Janita

Hi.
One very good book ( and free) is available
at http://diveintopython.org/ http://diveintopython.org/
except from the language itself, it explains about modules that can
be very handy.

Enjoy
Roy

Great link Roy!

This gives me an idea.Maybe we can get a friendly mod,to start a new thread,and make it sticky.Then people can post links to helpful reading material inside.Could even be subsectioned for users ability(noob,intermediate,advanced,etc).I just think one thread with all the resources in it,would avoid alot of the "where can i read about" threads...

Thanks for the link, roypython; I think this online book is also very useful for learning Python -
How To Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python

Have you looked at the Python intros and tutorials on Python.org by any chance ...

Have fun! Its a great language, sure you'll love it when you get used to it .

Mark.

Thanks for the links will check them out
