Actually, I think working through examples or finding a small project
is more helpful than books or videos. The videos are nice though.
Check out the online book, Dive Into Python, if you haven't already.
Then try to make something, like a program to keep track of your CDs
or books or something. I think the learning process of creating some
application was probably the most valuable tool I ever had.
