[Tutor] Choice of Python

Hi Guys, I am pretty new to python as this is just my 5th day reading through God knows how many books. I am really not new to programming, I come from a Cakephp, zend framework angle cutting through ASP.net,VB and C# at an intermediate level. However, for some reason, I am thinking pytho

Re: [Tutor] Choice of Python

Python, to me, is much more self consistent. It is a language that was designed with a plan. PHP to me feels like its more cobbled together. Python is easier to read, you get much more done in less code. The build in data structures are intrinsically connected to coding patterns. This may seem
