Hi, As you can imagine, I am new, both to this group and to Python. I have read various posts on the best book to buy or online tutorial to read and have started to go through them. I was wondering, as someone with virtually no programming experience (I am a photographer by trade), is Python the right language for me to try and learn? I do vaguely remember learning what I think was BASIC on some old Apple's back in elementary school (circa 1992). Would something like that (the name at least makes it SOUND easier) be more feasible? If I do choose to learn Python, are there any tutorials for the absolute beginner. I do not mean beginner to Python, but rather, beginner to programming. Someone who hasn't a clue what object oriented whatcha-ma-whoozit means. I ask again because I understand that content is always evolving and there might be new tutorials out there.
As an alternative to Python, I'd suggest REALbasic. Its main disadvantage is that it is not free. But you get a language, editor, and two application frameworks in one package.
