Matt has decided that he would like to do a bit of coding, and he’s gone for Python (which I suspect was a little, although not wholly, influenced by me going on about how easy it is). I asked him to keep a journal of his thoughts on what it’s like and the process, because I think it’ll be an invaluable guide to how user-friendly Python really is to people just picking up coding, and how suitable the “introductory” documentation really is. Stay in touch with Matt’s thoughts for more.
