Is there anywhere I can refer to for Python programming? Looking for syntax and such.

Just note: the only "programming" knowledge I have is starter LUA (I never even made it to functions) and HTML/CSS. I'm aspiring to get a head start on this because there's currently a course I'm taking for school that revolves around Python Programming, so I'd enjoy the head start on things.

Also: I've looked at the documentation, and I'm downright lost. Looking for a dumbed-down guide of sorts, a beginner's guide, if you will.

Buy the ebook, it's cheap as hell.

Yo my brother!

I can help you out.

Start here: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/

This is the guide I used to start learning it, and I would highly recommend it as well.

The basic idea of Shaw's guide is that you'll just be re-writing code for most of the chapters so you can get the hang of the syntax. There isn't much of any lesson that has you writing code that isn't already written, but I think this is good for beginners.

Also, if you ever encounter a logic problem, try googling "python <problem>" and look for posts from http://www.stackoverflow.com. That is probably the best place for different solutions to problems you may have (ranging from easy solutions to complex).

Any other questions, you can PM me. I'm not an expert by far, but it helps to learn a language when you teach it

Python really is an easy language. I think you'll have fun.
