I am not sure if I can add to the excellent advice you have received here but I would like to add my 2 cents.
I have learned a few languages over the past couple of years but I still don't think I am a very good programmer. Please don't fall into the trap I am in. I am now trying to learn more about programming strategies not just another language. I have not received the book yet but I ordered software systems development: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1386620426&searchurl=isbn%3D0077111036 I am teaching myself UML to understand how to layout a blueprint and I am trying to learn metamodeling concepts. If you can spell really well and your grammar is perfect you still might not be able to write a novel. Just learning a programming language is not enough. Hope this helps, I have certainly received more then my share of help from this list-Patrick _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
