Only just noticed this thread.

Done phase 1 and the first two examples of phase 2. Will complete the rest this week.

I have a bit of Java knowledge - variables, constructors, loop, lists and maps etc so it's useful to see how they are used/coded in python.

Looking forward to phase 3.

Phase One: Figure out who wants to take part! Reply to register your interest.
Phase Two (Post #21): Get people set up with the relevant software. Make sure everyone is set up before going onto next phase.
Phase Three: Teach basic syntax of python using simple examples, while explaining each example

So your working on Phase Three I guess? And your looking forward to Four?

Edit: keep me informed of your progress! Also for others reading this, I am interested in seeing some people complete phase three, put in a reply to let me know you have started on it

Thanks for doing phase three guys, hope to see more people come back to this thread. Remember to post back when done.

Hi Rich,

I'll come back to this, I'm half way through learnpythonthehardway which suited me whilst I was waiting for phase three. I'm firing through that at an exercise or two a night at the moment.

I do want to come back to this to learn more stuff though, so keep up the good work. Also, it's nice to try out some IDEs. I like Anjuta on Linux, but I'm liking learning to use other IDEs like Aptana.

If you go away and learn python from other sources, let me know what phase you are now capable of completing so I can update the OP.

Count me in if I am not too late?

Sure, its never too late. I will add you to OP. Have you done Phase Two?
Don't forget to do Phase Three afterwards.

I have updated the "main post". Let me know when you have completed some phases, so I can keep it updated with your progress.

Also, Huge thanks to AHarvey for helping out in the thread and for sticking with it, your a star!

I will start work on the next phase in the next few days.

Updated the OP. Hope to see some current members return since the majority of people are on Phase Two, Four (and beyond) might have to start without them if they don't come back. New folk are still welcome to sign up, reply to register your interest.

I am currently on holiday for the week, so next tutorials will be a couple weeks away at least.

Updated the OP, Hope to see more people sign up (or current members come back!).

stumbled across these threads so thought i'd give it a go, hope no one minds.

done stage 2, but not really sure what the process is for making it work.

sry to be such a pain, but is it possible to explain what it's doing/how it working, or should i be able to figure that out before i go further ?

either way nice work rich .

Add me to Skype, etc. See my signature below for my details. I will go through it with you (or anyone else) in more detail.
