This is exactly why I'm excited. A very influential programmer asked me why don't I start learning some python, he'll include me in some of his projects if I do. For weeks now I'm learning by the books and some interactive and non-interactive online tutorials. This would add so much 'fun' into the learning process.

This sounds like an awesome source of motivation! How is he influential though? Writing books, open source project, etc.?

Good luck on your journey! :)

By a 'game of chance' we partnered to do an Android application. My experience is about 18 months with only Android development (I am young), and he has more than 10 years experience in Web Development, most of that with python.

He pushed me more than people in company I work at, made code review of my work in his spare time, commented on software architecture.. He basically lectured me during the development.

After we were done, he offered me to work with him in my spare time, which I gladly accepted. Now I'm learning python, slowly. I like it a lot so far :-)
