About to dig into Python
« on: December 30, 2007, 04:47:42 am »
So I am deciding to dig into Python now, just bought a $30 Python 2.5 book, has close to 1000 pages. Pretty interesting. I can't be bothered to learn C/C++ and Python seems right in my department as I love hack, crack, web dev. Plus I think I love the fact that Python is interpretive and dynamically typed.

I am in rut as far as what project I could do....suggestions? (nothing web dev related)

Calculators and address books are easy/fun.  :)

I've been coding for a while, I can take something a bit harder than that :P

When I'm first starting on a language, even I start with little programs like that. Just a couple, enough to get comfortable with the syntax.

When I first start, I do basic stuff, see how it works command line wise or simple tests. After I get the hang of it, I code something hard on purpose.

How about a trivia bot for IRC/BNet? Those kind of things are liked, and probably not insanely hard to start with.

True, but then I'd have to kill him.

I'm learning Python too! :D It wasn't necessary to buy a book, though - if you have a basic grasp of most programming concepts, then all you really need is an interpreter and a quick tutorial.

The tutorial can be found here:
