  1. Visit Why Python is a great language for teaching introductory programming classes Why Python is a great language for teaching introductory programming classes

    http://www.stanford.edu/~pgbovine/python-teaching.htm

    I don't know many other languages well, but I do know that Python was the first language that ever really made sense to me -- and I attribute that, in large part, to the clean syntax and large collection of included and third-party libraries.

  2. Visit Python-by-example Python-by-example

    http://www.lightbird.net/py-by-example/

    Looks like a new new resource for learning Python.

  3. Visit Django at PyCon Django at PyCon

    http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2008/jan/21/pycon/

    There are several Django-related sessions at PyCon, which is taking place this March in Chicago.

  4. Visit ASCII, Dammit ASCII, Dammit

    http://newsbruiser.tigris.org/source/browse/~checkout~/newsbruiser/nb/lib/AsciiDammit.py

    Python library to turn MS characters (like smart quotes) and ISO-Latin characters into ASCII, dammit (or HTML, dammit). Very useful. Thanks, [Matt](http://postneo.com).

  5. Visit Frank Wiles: A Guide to Hiring Programmers: The High Cost of Low Quality Frank Wiles: A Guide to Hiring Programmers: The High Cost of Low Quality

    http://blog.revsys.com/2007/08/a-guide-to-hiri.html

    Frank is one of the most brilliant people I've had the pleasure to work with (he used to work for The World Company, although not in the same division as me), and here he spouts off fountains of accurate information about hiring programers. I woul… More

  6. Visit Want To Learn Web Programming? Write A Blog Engine. Want To Learn Web Programming? Write A Blog Engine.

    http://ifacethoughts.net/2007/09/19/want-to-learn-web-programming-write-a-blog-engine/

    Speaking form personal experience, I can say that I fully agree with this piece. Blogs engines are great learning tools: everyone understands what one is and how it typically works, everyone has their own ideas of "custom" things they want from th… More

  7. Visit Greg Bowers: No love for the Snake? Greg Bowers: No love for the Snake?

    http://gregorybowers.com/write/no-love-for-the-snake

    On his very cleverly-designed blog, Greg Bowers, wonders aloud about the notable absence of any Django-related podcasts, and nominates me to host one. Apparently he hasn't heard my voice. Still, I kind of like the idea...

  8. Visit Code Like a Pythonista: Idiomatic Python Code Like a Pythonista: Idiomatic Python

    http://python.net/~goodger/projects/pycon/2007/idiomatic/handout.html

    Good stuff for those new to Python and wanting to conform to conventions. Also, I've always thought the Zen of Python poem (which is included in this piece) could just as aptly be a designer's mantra.

  9. Visit A Very Sweet Solution A Very Sweet Solution

    http://mjtsai.com/blog/2007/06/13/a-very-sweet-solution/

    Steve Jobs himself went on about how much greater "real" iPhone apps are than web-based apps at D5. A few days later, at WWDC, he told Mac developers that writing web-based apps for the iPhone was a "very sweet solution." Huh?

  10. Visit LOLCODE LOLCODE

    http://lolcode.com/

    Freaking awesome. Here's hoping they add `DO NOT WANT` for exception handling.
