Learning Resources

General

• Data Structure and Programming course - a link offered by Syan
• CVS tutorial (one of many; this link offered by Jim)
• suggested, text-only www browsers for working inside a terminal: lynx, links and w3w

Gnumed

• Gnumed for starters - aka I don't know what I am doing (Sebastian 5.Oct2004)

Python

• A Byte of Python - as someone just learning Python, Richard found this downloadable "book" invaluable
• Non-Programmers Tutorial For Python
• When Pythons Attack - Common Mistakes of Python Programmers (book)
• How to Think Like a Computer Scientist - Learning with Python
  • really handy when you know what you want, but don't know how exactly e.g. how do I get a value into or out of a dictionary etc.
• Also browsing other peoples python code helps. As pointed out by Syan – "I learnt stuff from looking at Ian's short-cut code, and I saw an alternative to using the filter() list utility function when I looked at bittorrent code... The pycommon code is also a good source for learning."

WxPython

• Robin's overview from 2004 OSCON conf
  • a good description. Also the subdirectories at this site have code examples - courtesy Richard

• Debian, Kerberos, LDAP, Bind, Gnumed walthrough - something like a HOWTO for these things
