This is a very good introductory course to Python programming and using PowerShell. It has ways to use other terminal programs out there listed in it, but PowerShell is the one I use since I have a Windows OS. It tells you to use Python 2.7 instead of Python 3, and to use a terminal rather than IDLE (the Interpreter that comes packaged with Python). This is good, since I got to have some practice with using a terminal application. In any case, it starts at the basics, and through 52 exercises builds up your skills in programming and reading code. Since it isn't interactive, what with being a printed book and all, there are some points that aren't really necessary. Perhaps I will find more stuff to do with Python online. That will be pretty interesting.

I don't really plan to go into programming, this is only something I want to do for fun, so... I guess it is a hobby. Anyway, Python is very deep, as are all programming languages, so I will have a lot of time to go with this.… (plus d'informations)
