lol that book is so funny and at the same time informative and powerful and very simple. but the introductory part to OOP kinda sucks. I had to read another book to have a foot on OOP b4 returning to Zed book. but I'd recommend it for anyone. one funny part says:
1. if anyone ask u to use vim as editor. Tell him No.

Alright. I'll do that. Are u still on python or have you moved on to another language?

i love python a lot... Dere are many things to python.. Networking programming, game dev, web dev, scripts and so on .. A lot more to learn.. Buh i do android dev with java and just started php and mysql

[quote author=ayomidearo post=29267395] i love python a lot... Dere are many things to python.. Networking programming, game dev, web dev, scripts and so on .. A lot more to learn.. Buh i do android dev with java and just started php and mysql[/quote

mysql is very simple. I just don't have its time yet. i don't know y I just don't like php maybe because am not into web devlpment.
Actually Linux pushed me to study python. I wanted something more powerful than bash programming. a language that will automate like bash and use to develop software.

so u knw java too? that language is unnecessarily verbose. not idea for small app development if u ask but is d best for enterprise large solutions

[quote author=Barywhyte post=29267864][/quote]java has a great library + i enjoy using google technology

android is better off with java. what kind of python module do u use to develop GUI based app? I am tryin to convert the Gothon invader program in Zed book to smthin like 2D combat system. will wxpython do? pygame appear to b another language on its own with different syntax

Jpython + am not sure wxpython will do dah buh try it

can any help with how to keep the leading zero(s) of a digit without having to convert it to string.
for example, when you want to write a phone number like 0812345678 such that python won't give an error or truncate the initial zero.

ayomidearo:
Jpython + am not sure wxpython will do dah buh try it

will jpython not require knowledge of java syntax? I figured out wxpython does the same

I will try both and c which one appeal to me more. if it doesn't involve extensive java codin, I'll b fine with jpython.

Pls do.. I bet u will enjoy jpython.. Sweet library and try cpython
