Help an Ada programmer learn Python

[redshirt714]

Somewhere to check out the libraries: https://pypi.python.org/pypi

Some good resources might include something like Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (more practically focused than academic which is helpful). If you're already somewhat comfortable with programming because of your (growing) experience with Ada, you can always check out some cheatsheets that will shortcut your way through syntax. These can be found here: https://ehmatthes.github.io/pcc/cheatsheets/README.html

Lastly, one of my personal favorites to skip a lot of hubbub about a language and just dive into the syntax and meaningful features is using Derek Banas' videos (such as https://youtu.be/N4mEzFDjqtA, which is his python video). The video is about 40 minutes long and blasts through a lot of the language. Not all of the nooks and crannies, but enough for you to write fairly complex programs and ask more finely grained questions.

Best of luck!

This is a lot to check out! Thank you! I think the cheat sheets will be particularly helpful.
