Hi all, I'm from a Linguistics background and am new(er) to programming. Could someone recommend a book or resource that teaches programming aspects with Python? Python I hear is a very appropriate language for handling text and language processing.
I'm searching for a resource that examines programming from a case study like perspective. Such as, you're faced with problem of type X - and here's how you should look at it to break it down to form an optimal solution (e.g. because this type or problem is handled well with this type of data structure, etc.). I've looked at the online Python tutorial at python.org and resources like O'Reilly's Python in a Nutshell, but they seem to teach you language syntax and concepts like data types, or assume you already know how to program. I'm searching for something that teaches programming. Thanks everyone, -Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
