Let's go Python!

It may be surprising but after few years of Java development I started to fell the need of discovering something totally different. After few chats with my job collegues I realized that sticking to one technology is not good and it is sometimes better to look at other solutions to have a better overview and to be able to look at development problems from different perspective. At first, I wanted to try C#/.NET, but I heard oppinions that it is quite similar to Java. Finally, one of my collegues told me: "why don't you give Python a try? For sure it is very different." Well, why not...

So, for now I managed to:

• learn some Python basics
• download Python - http://www.python.org/
  
• install PyScripter IDE - http://code.google.com/p/pyscripter/
  
• write "Hello World" application;)

I know it is not too impressive, but my time is very limited recently.

Plans for future:

• write some more Python code
• try Django
• deployment on Google Application Engine

I don't know how much time it takes me, but I will report my progress and publish some example code here. Wish me luck!
