It focuses on Python and is for newbies to Python. If you have some
programming
experience thats fine and Learning Python is a fine choice. If you are
a
complete newbie to programming you might find it quite tough going.
It's easier to
read than the official tutor but not much.

If you are a complete beginner you might be better off with going
through one
of the Newbie web site tutors first.

But then I'm biased! :-)
