[Tutor] mentor neeeeeded(log file)

[shey crompton]

Oops. I just realised I didn't send the message below to Tutor. Sorry Thomi!

That's also what I've been doing. I've been going through a couple of
tutorials, taking their basic examples, and extending them. One example of
this is from Alan's book which is  a simple loop that prints out the times
tables between 2-12. As I learn more, I am revisiting the program, and
adding little touches like asking the user which one he/she wants printed. I
intend to eventually make it into a program with a GUI (overkill, I know),
and probably a multiplication quiz.
As Thomi said, take something simple, and extend it. You can always go back
to the original simple program and change direction. 
Most of all persevere. I started Python about 2 months with no programming
experience whatsoever, and, although I am no expert yet, I know that any day
now I will figure out what's happening. :-)

Yeah, i would suggest that you come up with some really simple program
you want to do. Maybe a simple arithmetic quiz? something which asks
questions, gets answers, maybe even keeps score?? It's how i was taught,
and once you get the hang of it, it's really quite simple :-)
