Python is an excellent language to learn as a beginner. Its clear, simple syntax and large and vibrant user community are a major plus
Also it is an open-source language with lots of free tools that give you a load of functionality free! I moved from the .Net platform to python a couple of years ago, and I believe it has been one of my smartest moves career-wise.
google makes very good use of python, as well as NASA!
you can download the python interpreter from http://www.python.org.

I was trying to book a flight from lagos to port-harcourt for the 22nd of July (today) and I found that you have to be extra careful when booking for virgin nigeria flights. The 2 issues are:
1. I selected 22nd of July for the booking date. By some crazy magic, when i clicked next to continue the booking process, the date 23rd July shows up as my booking date. Since I was more interested in the cost of the flight, my brain did not take the new (magically derived) date in. So, I pay and only then discover that virgin nigeria prefers that I travel tomorrow instead of today, and also that cancelling my booking will cost N2,500 that I never budgeted for. I (and any reasonable user, IMHO) would have thought they would indicate that the date I selected did not have any available flights, like putting a LARGE RED SIGN that 'There are no seats available for the date you selected, however we have flights for the 23rd of July, etc' with a very big sorry sign on it (i don't think it costs anything to say sorry even if it's not your fault that the user did not book early enough). But just tricking him/her to book on any arbitrary date (tomorrow is as arbitrary as next year) is just bad bad bad!!!!
2. Our own dear virgin nigeria claimed to charge N15,650 for the flight, How come my sms alert rounds it up to N16,000? are there hidden costs that they do not show us? or is somebody stealing my money behind my back?
Virgin Nigeria you have to get your act together and make your online booking experience less of a JAMB exam!
At least we have the option of going aero for their cheap flights (small advert for them here)

i haven't tested it, but will like to ask a question first,
how is it an improvement over the word resume templates, or other resume templates?

hi, stackoverflow is not a blogging site. it is a variation of the expertexchange concept, where you can go and ask questions and get people volunteer answers,
The best blogs are specific to the technologies you use and the communities around them,

The chrome OS is going to be free and open-source, so there really is no 'factoring out africa', they will be very happy for you to use it FREE!
