Glad to be here.

Coding is brand new to me. I intend to start with Python based on advice I've read and heard from some work friends.

Here's my initial gameplan:
  • I've heard good things about "Learn Python the Hard Way," so that seems to be a good start.
  • Lots of you have recommended reading as much code as possible, so that's high on the list as well!
  • ...That's it so far. :P I'm totally open to suggestions!

Looking forward to learning and getting involved with the community. Thanks everyone!

Welcome to our community! Glad you have joined us, learning Python with a well written book is a lot of fun - no need to learn all the subtleties of compiled languages. How are you finding the language so far?

I recommend down the road looking through various other languages (learning "crash course" style), many can teach you programming in different ways than any one language can.

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

Thanks for the welcoming words, everyone. I'm on Exercise 9 in Learn Python the Hard Way. It's a blast- I love the mental challenge, and I've only barely seen what Python can do yet!

I'll be sure to post questions in the appropriate places, absorb all I can and with some more experience maybe lend a hand to a newbie like myself!

Cheers.
