Lately I have been doing some groovy scripting at work. I have certainly developed a liking for many of its features and the fact that it makes the programmer so much more productive as opposed to getting lost in unnecessary syntax to be obeyed in Languages like Java/C++. My interest further made me read more about dynamic languages and I decided to learn Python. I came across a lovely YouTube video for Python newbies !
Programmer Alex Martelli does an excellent job in delivering a Python 101 lecture. He starts with commonalities of Python with Java/C/C++. He then explains Python’s “deep connection with C” followed by “The Zen of Python” and “What is different in Python?”. Well, instead of my giving the synopsis of the video, why don’t you just Dive Into this Python video? Here it is:
Here is second part of the video:
