Hi Shridhar,

The best way for me to get started was by *writing* programs. I
started with computers by learning C - I remember completing every
exercise problems in the C book I picked up for learning no matter how
long it took for me. For example, I spent about 2 hours in writing a
program to print the multiplication table from 1x1 to 10x10. It was
the fascination at seeing a program do what one intended it to do that
drove me to complete any program.

Practice coupled with the fascination makes you a good programmer.

As for getting started with Python, you can peruse this page -
