Python for non-programmers

[Alexander Williams]

Gentlemen, there is a /reason/ that Introduction to Computing 101 and
Basics of Programming 102 take half a year to introduce together, and
its not just because of the quarter system in the local college.  Many
people need that much time to pick up the lexicon and assumptive web
of associations that we, as programmers, make use of every single
day.  Like any other field with its own symbology and culture, it
takes time to get the grounding in the true basics.

Think of the field of computing as a culture unto itself with many
different regional languages and you'll be far closer to understanding
/why/ this difficulty is as it is.
