learning a Programming language
by Legacy Feb. 29, 2000

Feb. 29, 2000

I wish to learn programming under the Windows environment (Win 9x + Win2000). I have minimal if no programming experience (except very basic BASIC about 15 years ago). Should I start with Python or with Visual Basic. What are the principal differences between the languages. Please try and give an unbiased view. Thanks. Darren

Hi All, Tiffany-- Tiffany Olson wrote: > > I have a Windows, and my entire system is Gateway > What you need to do is to install Python. Don't accept the default directory, but install to "c:\Python" instead. Install Tcl to "c:\Tcl". Answer "yes" to all the rest of the questions. Once you have done that, open a DOS prompt (found on your menu--hit the Windows key) and type "cd c:\Python" and hit return. After that, type "python" and hit return. You should get something that looks like this: C:\Python> python Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> Once you see the ">>>", you know that Python is installed correctly. Type this: print "Hello, world!" and hit return. You should see this: >>> print "Hello, world!" Hello, world! >>> And you're on your way. Take a look at Alan's beginner tutorial at http://members.xoom.com/alan_gauld/tutor/tutindex.htm Work some of the exercises. When you're done, type a ^Z at the >>> prompt. That means press the Z and Ctrl keys simultaneously. Python will exit, and you'll return to the "C:\Python>" prompt. When replying to messages from the tutor list, don't forget to make sure that the address you're using is tutor(a)python.org If it's not, you're only replying to whomever posted that message, and others can't chime in to help you too.

So I am > anxiously waiting for > > your book. Since this seems a good time for self promotion :-) ... I am currently turning my online tutor into a book. It will feature several new chapters and use VBScript and Javascript instead of Tcl and QBASIC as the comparative languages. I don't expect it out much before the end of the year but since I passed the half way mark on the first draft this weekend I now feel confident enough to announce its existence as a project. That will make at least 2 beginners books on Python. Alan G. http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/

> how can i learn python when everything is put into comparison > terms! just tell me how to do it and i'll be able to learn it!!! Not sure what you mean by that since comparison is one of the best ways of learning - its how we learn any new language, programming or otherwise. There are a couple of tutors for beginners on the Python Web site which get straight to the meat of it if that's your style. You can try m ine which is more explanatorty of concepts if your a complete beginner, but it does (deliberately) use comparisons with Tcl and QBASIC. http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/ Alan G.
