New Tutor topic(almost)

Hi gang,

After a very long delay I finally got some work done on 
my networking with sockets topic in my tutorial. There is 
still a section to complete but the introductory
explanations 
and examples are now on the site.

If anyone has any feedback I'd love to hear it.

Well, I'm new here and for the most I haven't got a clue as
to what I'm doing, however, I thought 
your website was a jewel. Most of it was over my head but
sometime in the future I'm sure it will 
become a valuable resource for me. (btw, I'm heading to
Borders tonight with my checkbook. Hoping to 
pick up some pyhton for complete n00bs reading)

Keep up the great work, Alan.

Look for "Python Programming for the absolute
beginner".

I'll look for it. Perhaps I should pick up one of the
"Dummies" book too.

There is a "Python for Dummies"; it is very recent
and written by a 
respected member of the Python community. I haven't read it
myself though.

I'm a big fan of Dummies books but not for concepts.
They are great if you want a flying start on a new language
or tool, but only if you already know the concepts.

For example, if you can already program and understand
web technology then the Struts for dummies book is great.
But their Programming for Dummies book didn't impress
me nearly as much. It was too many examples and too
little explanation of *why*...

But they do seem to have captured their powmn little
niche in the market.
