Yep, i pretty much stole a python book from amazon. The book was $1 with $3.49 shipping, so that comes out to $4.50. Im learning K++(karel), C++, and VB in school, right now we just finished with karel, and fixing to move onto C++. karel is supposed to be similar to C++, but it seemed pretty simple to me, all you could do was to tell a robot to move around a world to accomplish tasks. i did see some things that would be useful such as while, if/else, and loops. also class files. i cant wait for C++ though, thats what we are doing next. I was talking to my CS teacher and told her i wanted to learn to program really well, and she told me to get a book over python and to learn it.
What do you think of the python language. some of my friends said that it was mainly a hacking (not cracking, well it could be) language. others never heard of it. I've heard thats what google is run off of. I also wanna learn perl.
Do you think thats a good start? who on here is a pretty experienced programmer? Do you have sugestions of languages that should be learned. or should i learn some more basic languages first. my cs teacher said that python's syntax was really clear and what not. I want to be 1337 :bigggrin:
