So I think that Head First Programming: A Learner's Guide to Programming Using the Python Language is a great guideline to teach any programming course, esp a 10 week course as it has 10 chapters. We’re one week behind. Arguably you could merge week 2 into week 1 and I may do just that in a rewrite of this series. In fact I’d suggest you do just that. But for now I’m going to continue on and we’ll see what people think once I reach the end. No reason I can’t rewrite this series, especially since it’s not really planned I’m just writing it on the fly.Although this book is a good guideline (note: I’m also concerned that if I follow it’s examples to the letter all the time I might violate fair use), chapter 2 annoys me, it’s on textual data and uses html scraping as an example. However, it completely ignores html parsers and any other sane way of doing it. So I had to find a better example and I think I have with parsing PKGBUILD’s, which are sort of a microformat bash script.– This work by Caleb Cushing is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
