Im one of those people who for no apparent reason decides out of the blue to learn a new language.  Programming language that is.

Recently I have been doing abit of foolin around with PHP and the MySQL database and today I decided that it would be nice to learn something else while Im at it.

It was a tossup between C and Python.  I really want to become a C/C++ master but after doing abit of reading about them I decided that I would get a working knowledge of Python first then tackle C.

I am actually enjoying playing around with Python alot.  Infact I havent had this much fun programming since I first tryed Delphi with its easy as RAD system.

I have abit of back ground in writing PERL scripts so this has given me abit of a head start but I would REALLY recommend Python to anyone interested in getting started in programming.

Get it @ www.python.org

and the best tutorial Ive seen so far is @ http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/

Good luck and happy programming.
