The Way Of The Program

I just finished reading chapter one of the "Learning With Python" version of "How To Think Like A Computer Scientist". That chapter alone, "The Way of the Program", comprised of a single webpage, is a thing of beauty. I am not just more knowledgeable for having read it; I feel like I am actually smarter. I encourage you to read it.

I am considering adapting section 1.8, Formal and Natural Languages, as part of a slide presentation about Lojban geared toward totally non-technical audiences at the next ConFusion.

Brilliant book/tutorial. It's probably the single best resource for coming up to speed on Python in a short amount of time. All the necessary info, none of the fluff.

I started on the C++ version over the weekend because somehow I came across the notion that it would be a good idea to take another stab at C++.
