[15:39] Good Morning from PyCon :-) after being here for only a day now I want to learn python [15:40] maybe I do a developer side that wants to break out :-) [15:40] mhall119, what's a book to start with? [15:43] akgraner: hmm, I didn't get a python book [15:44] akgraner: do you have experience in another programming language? [15:44] then where should I start? I can't think of particular itch I want to scratch but I would like to lean more [15:44] mhall119, ummm no remember NTEU here ;-) [15:45] yeah, an NTEU who want's to learn python, uh huh, I believe that [15:45] pssshhh [15:45] akgraner: then personally, I'd suggest that you apt-get install laby [15:45] yeah [15:45] it'll teach you basic programming constructs and introduce you to python's syntax [15:46] gotcha [15:46] best of all, it gives you a specific goal, without you needing an itch to scratch [15:46] great! [15:46] I got Michelle to do several levels of it a while back [15:46] and Quinn did a couple on his own too [15:46] nice [15:47] you rock!
