[Tutor] Learning Programming

[Eve Kotyk]

Some one wrote yesterday that they were to planning to learn to program
in Python within a year.  I have wanted to learn programming for
sometime.  I began with C (on Linux) and though I have read a book on C
programming (I also did the exercises) I am anything but proficient in
C.  Subsequently Python was recommended at a good language for a
novice.  I have completed the tutorial by Josh Cogliati and have written
a few small modules on my own.

I have two questions:  

1)  What is a reasonable length of time in which to learn a programming
language ?(I'm a little disheartened at my prgress).


2)  I think I would learn more quickly if I had a project to work
on...how do you choose a project?
