[Chicago] Hello from a Newbie

[Jonathan Hayward]

There were a couple of other links I was thinking of:

First, if you are interested in Python web programming, Django is among the
list of frameworks seriously worth considering. The Django
Book<http://djangobook.com/>is helpful.

Second, this is not on par with *any* of the other suggestions here, but I
wrote an introduction, Usability: the Soul of
Python<http://JonathansCorner.com/python/>.
It might be of a little use.
