[Tutor] btree problems

[Todd Martin]

I would actually consider Delphi a better learning language and stepping
stone into OOP. Delphi is nothing more than Object Pascal which was created
as a learning tool in the first place. I would count Python as second best
in the learning realm, however Python kicks Delphi's booty in the cross
platform department. The advantages of Python as a tool in general far
exceed that of Delphi, it's just that Delphi is easier to learn.

You know, I've written commercial apps in C++ but it's such a behemoth
that it's hard to learn fully. In fact, I doubt anyone DOES know it fully,
not even Stroustrop. :)

Anyway, I think Python's a really GOOD way to learn the basics of OOP
without the cruft. I just wish I'd learned in the opposite order myself.
