[Tutor] Python Tutorials: How to create useful programs after learning the syntax?

[Luis Galvan]

Mr. Chun, thank you so much for your plug!  I had no idea such a prestiged
author as yourself would respond to my question, but I'm glad you did!  I
checked out a copy of your book from my public library (I'll need to
purchase a copy eventually though)  and the exercises are definitely helping
a TON with getting my mind "thinking like a programmer".  I'm barely in the
excercises section in Part I Chapter 2 and I'm already amazed at your
ability to encourage the mind to think!  Personally, I'm loving your
exercises so much, that they really are motivating me to "expand" on what
you asked for.  Take the small script where you challenge us to create a
"negative, postive, and zero number detecter".  I'm enjoying playing around
with it by adding exceptions and elif statements here and there.  Thank you
Mr. Chun, you really answered my question in its entirety. :)  Have you
written any other books on programming by any chance, or can we expect any
in the future?  I really love your work!
