We autodidacts are rejoicing.

more ...The Getting Started Problem
How does one get started developing software? What's the first step?
When you come to this craft -- or sullen art -- without a background except as a user, how do you get started writing code?

more ...Wow. Two-Word Question. Profound Insight.
I'm working on yet another Python book. This one looking at functional programming in Python. It doesn't really go with with Mastering Object-Oriented Python and Python for Secret Agents because the focus isn't on Python's strong suit.

which is more declarative. The point of the whining being that more
declarative == good and …

http://www.oreilly.com/pub/e/3255 I'm a pretty good public speaker. But I've avoided webcasting and podcasting because it's kind of daunting. In a smaller venue, the audience members are right there, and you can tell if you're not making sense. In a webcast, the feedback will be …
