>I can understand the struggle to learn a new language
>especially for the first time.  Thanks for the great
>feedback from all.  I think what also helps is to work,
>code, and study with others.  Going the solo route
>is rough and it is easy to go off on a tagent. Many times
>I've found myself spining my wheels for days, weeks.
>
>Try forming a virtual team/study group of others
>who are going through or may wish to go through
>Laningham's book.  Also remember to throw
>in plenty of coding time   :-)
>
>I'm a newbie to Python, I've started learning Python
>this week from online tutorials.  I'm experienced in C/C++,
>SQL, PL/SQL, and Perl.  Learning Python appears
>to be enjoyable.

>Also where can I find the tutorial "Learning to Program
>by Alan Gauld???

>Enjoy The Journey,

>I'm struggling through van Laningham's book, "Teach Yourself Python in 24
>Hours", and was doing quite well until chapter 6. Bogged down in tuples,
>with lists next. This is my first attempt at programming, and find this a
>bit much. How does one remember the syntax, functions, indentations, etc?
>Does it just take time and practice? I tried tutor for non-programmers, and
>could do the programs (not understanding some of them of course), and
>initally found van Laningham's book better, but am getting stuck here in
>chapter 6.
>
>Any recommendations on best way to learn Python?
>
>Appreciate it.
