[Tutor] starting from scratch.

[Steve Mallett]

I've decided to take up programming and choosen to start with Python (after 
some research).

One thing that is not terribly clear is if I should've started somewhere else 
& let that lead me to Python.

Q's
1) I know this list is for beginners, but for scratch beginners?
2) Will I benefit from starting with "Learning Python" from O'Reilly?  
Someone told me to start with learning shell scripting, but I wonder if 
that's not a bias'd opinion.
3) Should I start somewhere else & lead up to Python?


Kindest regards,
