[Tutor] Fwd: New dealing with Pythong and programming

[Danny Yoo]

Hi William,

I'm forwarding this to the tutor mailing list.  Currently I'm busy in
my day job, so I truly can't look at this now.  (I'm currently under a
deadline.)

But hopefully someone else on the list can take a look.  Please use
Reply-To-All in your email client when you're asking and answering
Tutor-related mail, so that all the helpers there can help.

I hope the learning is going well for you!

Hey Danny your links were really usefull, actually they are guiding me
to learn step by step by mean of exercises which I think is the best.
But now I have face an example were I got stuck.
This may be so fool so you will probably be glad if you could kick me
hehehe but I can't jump to the next line.
look this is what I want to write:

Example:

print "Jack and Jill went up a hill"
print "to fetch a pail of water;"
print "Jack fell down, and broke his crown,"
print "and Jill came tumbling after."

But as soon as I finish the line and I hit enter it executes it and I
can write the other part.

I found a link in Spanish however most of the best information and
practices are in English then I will try to learn on that language,
but of course, I would use it if needed.

Thank you Danny
