Not sure where to start - Heli0s - 04-05-2010

I've never learned a language on my own, not too sure where to start. I've learned C++ and Java in classes at my university.

Anybody have any POSITIVE, HELPFUL suggestions? You know? Something other than "Search for a tutorial, no0b" or "www.justfuckinggoogleit.com".

Nobody, huh? Well, thanks anyway.

Well, you can get a pretty good python book called 'A byte of python', google the ebook.

Download or buy an e-book or real life book that covers the basic stuff and then some harder books etc.

Online tutorials can be a pretty good way to.
look at other source codes and crap, that's a pretty good way to learn too¨.

My suggestion would be to find some e-books and start reading them to get an official idea of the basics, then go on to study/look at how to put these codes into practice by looking at other people's source codes.

Here is a site with many source codes you can look at, I find it very useful: http://www.a1vbcode.com/

And here is a website with a few e-books you can download to start off with: http://www.e-booksdirectory.com/listing.php?category=304

Read the fundementals of python tutorial on this forum for to learn the basics.

Then grab one of the books people have suggested and read it (and google everything you don't understand) Or if you're not big into reading watch youtube series on python Like this one
