Learning Python is one of my personal goals this year, so while we're on the subject of Python, has anyone done a review of Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way (http://learnpythonthehardway.org)?
One of the biggest mistakes I used to make was reading programming books start to finish, and then coding. I would read in a comfy chair and code at a desk. Laziness would kick in, and I'd sit and read, instead of popping over to the desk and coding what I just learned.
The second mistake I used to make is wasting time (and $$) on crappy books without researching reviews first. I like the philosophy behind Zed's tutorial - learn by doing - but I was wondering what Python programmers thought of it.

Learn Python the Hard Way was excellent. Best free PDF I've found on Python

Who has the blog with the best design? Interested to see what peoples thoughts are on the Links & fonts...
Why did you pick Django as a framework?
I know a few friends who use it, and since I am a bit dependent upon the help I can find...made sense to me. What would you recommend?
I think this is a good call on your part. There are a lot of people who know Django, and Python in general. In this phase it's good for you to use something that your immediate peers use.
awesome thanks reynolds
The same. I'm also using Django just because I got caught by the ideas they put in the heart of it and it's the most popular now.
common story it seems :)
