> Trying to learn Python, myself..

This perks me up.  I learned Python in the early 2000s and I have been
rewarded by it ever since, so I get enthused when others talk about
learning an easy to use, high level programming language.

Here are some URLs for this excellent project you have the idea of:

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/

Instant Hacking (old definition of hacking meaning porgramming)
https://folk.idi.ntnu.no/mlh/hetland_org/writing/instant-hacking.html

Dive into Python (I haven't actually tried this one)
https://diveintopython3.net/

Payware:
https://learnpythonthehardway.org

Or Learn Ruby the Hard Way if you want to go with another language.
https://learnrubythehardway.org/book/

I love programming, although I hardly do it.  Maybe there should be a
secondary KWLUG meeting just for meeting programmers, or those curious
about it.

Let us know how it goes! :-)
