/prog/ - Learning Python

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-13 19:56

Hey, so I'm interested in learning Python. I programmed a little bit in High School when I took programming, but
A. It was Visual Basic
and B. It was a long time ago.

I have so idea of what programming entails and what to do. Is "Learning Python the Hard Way" any good?

Thanks.

Google some tutorials. Get your feet wet before you dive into a book.

sepples,java the hut, Ada for system/business builds

Because some of us want to write autospammers for sites like Facebook.

I thought it'd just be a nice easy language. /shrug

I did google some tutorials, and that's what came up. Although though, I vaguely remember that someone said it was bad.

What about C++? The ++ means it's the better version of C, right?

Yeah. But then they put the ++ together and made #. C# is best.

Fuck the haters, learn Python. It's a wonderful language.

However, I would suggest learning C before Python. You will understand more of the shit Python hides from you.
