I’m learning Python and I really like the power of the language. Scrolling through my RSS-feeds, I found a post by Krys Wilken, pointing to an old (2004) post about the fact that Python is not Java. How true, still.
Whilst doing the Python Challenge, the solutions are often scripts with only a handful lines of code. And bear in mind that I’m no Python expert (yet), so the code could probably be optimized even more. Cool stuff!
Still in the newbie stage, but learning Python…. A very good “tutorial” to learn Python, is the Python Challenge. To work your way through the riddles, you need to know more and more about Python. Some riddles can be solved with Unix commandline tools or with other (scripting) languages, but the intention is to use Python. Tomorrow I wil start to work on challenge 7. Challenge 6 drained me. It was NOT obvious how to solve the puzzle.
