I bought a "Hello World!" book for my 9 year old son. The book teached "programming for kids" and it does it in Python.
I do not know any Python, but I am very comfortable with C++ and perl. I wrote a little over 100k lines of perl. I want to learn Python quickly to help him with his studies/fun. I would prefer a "no shit" book that quickly teaches a language to programmers. Any suggestions? i -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
