<div>i suggest going onto a bit torrent site and downloading some python books. there are also numerous websites that will give you a pretty decent run through</div>
<div> </div>
<div>my basic suggestion is find material that you have easy access to and dont have to give up after a few weeks (like from a friend or from a library). Once you get into the "studying groove" you dont want to lose any momentum. <br>

a newbie question:<br><br>I'm on a Mac (leopard), and would like to begin teaching myself<br>Python, with the goal of eventually developing some apps for the XO.<br><br>Any advice on where to start? I'm not a programmer. Decent HTML/css<br>
