- The introductory book – Learning Python, by Mark Lutz – is over 1000 pages!
- I picked up enough to “get going” after reading less than 15% of the book. π
- It’s more than just “that language where whitespace is significant”.
- Typing “dir(s)” and then “help(s)” (where “s” is a string) is WAY better than Intellisense or F1 in Visual Studio.
- It’s easy to compile Python code to a Windows executable.
- There’s something very freeing about being able to use either single or double quotes.
- I don’t think I’m going to use shelving, I don’t yet comprehend comprehensions, and it seems like interfaces are called protocols.
- Tuple?
- I’m really diggin’ this interactive language environment.
- I can already see how things like array manipulation and file reading could be done in WAY less code than C#, and I’m guessing that usually turns out to be a good thing?
