Getting Started with Python: Happy New Year 2012

Let's start this new year by learning a new programming language. Okay, now that was a very geeky thing to say but who cares when it would add weight to your CV. Anyways, Python is an interpreted, Object-oriented and interactive language which is very simple to start off with. Even one who has little knowledge of computer programming may learn about it through this language.
 I planned on making some tutorials explaining python. But a lot of tutorials were already available,so why take the pain. There are a huge load of such tutorials and I have put here the best collection.
Before starting off, you need the following :


1.Python Software from here. Required to create and run the python programs.
2. PyScripter which is a free Intergrated Development Environment for Python


The first  program is enough to begin programming, while the second makes things a breeze  while you cruise through programming. PyScripter requires the Python Software to be installed prior. So, make sure it's there before programming in PyScripter.


The below tutorials make use of the above programs to teach you python (from Khan Academy)

Introduction to Programs Data Types and Variables

Python Lists

For Loops in Python

While Loops in Python

Fun with Strings

All the videos above are from Khan Academy. A lot more about python are available here

THIS POST HAS BEEN MADE TO SET THE MOOD FOR UP COMING ARTICLES ON MACHINE VISION USING PYTHON.
