You don't say which tutorials you've looked at but there are a
whole set especially for non programmers on the Python web site
(including mine). They all have slightly different styles and
approaches
so I suggest you take a look at 2 or 3 and find one that suits you.
Follow it and when you have questins bring them to this list and
we will clarify things for you.
I'm sure you guys are busy, but I read that the most basic questions
are okay.
Yes, thats what we are here for.
I have a feeling once I get a basic understanding, I'll run away
with
it. It's just very... big right now. So this list seems like a good
thing, but tell me if I'm in the wrong place.
Yes, absolutely. Roll your sleeves up, dive in and experiment a lot.
Then ask questions. Its the best way to learn.
I am hoping for a link to a somewhat comprehensive online resource
that explains from the beginning in English, plain English,
You can try mine, it starts with the basic concepts and takes
you through to writing some basic but real-world programs.
It does assume you know computer basics but you sound as
if you do.
