    I have decided to learn Python. Those of you that use it, did you use a book to teach yourself, and if so, which one do you recommend?

          No I didn't, but then again I am an American High Schooler, I was given the FLVS(Florida Virtual School, no I am not a Florida Man, I don't live in Florida... :laugh: ) class Computer Programming. I have also used many different sites to learn, one of those being this site. W3schools https://www.w3schools.com/python/default.asp I have also used Khan Academy, CodeAcademy, and other free resources. And then if you are interested in certification, Google offers a free course. The course with certification is $49.00(USD) a month. Hope this helps Eddie. Good luck. If you got any questions let me know, just started the second semester with Lists and just got done with OOPs. :)

              I think there used to be a collection of all their scripts. It may be out of print now though. Albatross!

                I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                  If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

                                Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.

                                  Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah
