Well, it's admirable that you're wiling to stick with it and learn something new.
One other resource that I've personally been meaning to look into but just haven't had time is Programming from the Ground Up. It teaches computer science using Assembly language, quite literally from the "ground up." Here's the intro graf from the site: "This is an introductory book to programming and computer science using assembly language. It assumes the reader has never programmed before, and introduces the concepts of variables, functions, and flow control. The reason for using assembly language is to get the reader thinking in terms of how the computer actually works underneath. Knowing how the computer works from a "bare-metal" standpoint is often the difference between top-level programmers and programmers who can never quite master their art." Using that as a starting point might help you wrap your brain around some of the concepts in C, C++, etc. (though again, I'd defer to the experts on this list). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
