[Tutor] I am a web designer wanting to learn Python

malcolm,

thanks for the kudos... really appreciate it.  however, the reason why
i didn't bring it up is because the target audience of my book is
(generally) a technical person who already has some programming
experience and wants/needs to learn Python as quickly and as
comprehensively as possible.

i don't really recommend my book for those who are completely new to
programming as i think there are others who do a better job, hence all
the recommendations in my previous message. (ironically, i've
developed an entire training course for people who are absolute
beginners to programming [with Python being the implementation
language], but can't figure out the best and most effective way to
advertise/market the course... maybe one day!)

once michael comes up to speed, however, he's welcome to read "Core
Python Programming" to fill in any gaps in his Python skills.  :-)

in closing, let me take one more cat out of the bag... i've been
helping 2 fine gentlemen in developing a book on Django... yes, that
Python web framework. we are wrapping it up, and it should be on the
store shelves this fall. more info at the book's website at
http://withdjango.com/ ... it is complementary to the reference book
out there but is geared towards developing Django *applications*. look
for it soon!

best wishes,
-- wesley
