I’m 80 pages into Learning Python in my quest to Python proficiency so I can try on some Django for size. So far, the book seems great: comprehensive, thoughtful, and well-written. The language—I’m only up to strings—reminds me a bit too much of VBScript in its simplicity. I’m sure that my view will change when I start getting into the object-oriented sections, but right now it seems pretty BASIC. pun intended
