Don't be discouraged: if something that you read on Tutor goes way over
your head, just feel free to holler for a good explanation.  I get the
feeling that the subject matter itself may not be complex, although our
replies may be.  *grin*

Dunno.  Which one did you feel was the most readable and understandable
for you?  I thought Thinking Like a Computer Scientist was good, though
I'm more partial to Alan Gauld's "Learning to Program".  (But that's
probably because Alan's active here on the Tutor list.  *grin*)


All of the tutorials from:

    http://python.org/doc/Newbies.html

are excellent, I think.  You can tickle your curiosity by seeing how other
folks explain the same concepts: expect to see a variety of explanations,
just like on this list.



If you have more questions, please feel free to ask!
