Hi Malcolm and welcome!

If you are brand new to programming then I highly recommend this free
book: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index  However, if you already
have basic programming skills then you might want to look for
something more intermediate.

Programming is a lot of fun; you will soon become enamored with the
power to create software for yourself and others.  After a bit of
practice, you will only be bound by your imagination.
