Re:Totally fresh in programming (Score 1)

I am probably not the smartest person in the world, and I have no programming experience what so ever. What I am looking for, is some easy language to either script or program. Would python provide a good starting environment? Have any of you been at my level, then learned python?

I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago. As a kid I'd played around with BBC BASIC but hadn't progressed very far and then proceeded to forget most of the little I had learned over the following decade. I eventually stumbled across Python and thought it might be interesting to have a play around and see how easily I could pick it up.

The best place to start is the non-programmers section of the Python site. I found Alan Gauld's free book here particularly useful. He teaches a complete non-programmer to programme using several languages but with the emphasis firmly on Python. The book focuses on learning to programme rather than learning a specific language and is a great place to start. Several of the other tutorials linked from the Python site are also worth a look.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy yourself as much as I did.
