Hi John,

I suspected it might be something you were doing just to explore.
Lutz and Ascher is a great book but they do assume some knowledge
of programming and computer concepts.

Learning to think in the minute level of detail that a computer
'thinks' is half the battle of programming. Humans are intelligent
but slow, computers are stupid but fast. You have to break every
action down to the simplest level and get the sequence just right.
But once you do get this stupid box responding to your every whim
then it is a grat buzz!
