[Tutor] New person greets you all!

[Tiago Cunha]

Hello,

I am not a computer major, either. I am a Linguistics doctorate Student. I
worked with the basics of programming (C, prolog...). And now using Python
for Natural Language Processing. My interests are probably very different
from yours, but I got intimate by Wesley Chun's Core Python Programming.
