[prog] how to learn the basic programming

[Dan Richter]

>sir, can you teach me some basic form of pythom programming?

Python provides an excellent tutorial here:
   http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html

I recommend skipping the introduction and starting here:
   http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node4.html

It's pleasantly brief but doesn't assume you know any other programming 
languages.

  [Larry] Wall [inventor of Perl] believes that people think about
  things in different ways, that natural languages accommodate many
  mindsets, and that programming languages should too.
