I thought about it and Its obvious I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to what programs are out there. I'm really excited about the new wrox book about python coming out in febuary. The program director gave me the syllabus for the first to classes, which are taught in python, so I could clep the classes. Dixie has a good program, they do cool things like one of the projects you create is a video game.

programming in python is almost like programming in psuedo code. It takes a while to forget the syntax of C, but its follows similiar traits. I implore you to take a look at it, that is if you haven't seen it already. Especially if your just starting out in programming, you'll be amazed at how simple it is.
