Drew Davis, Decades of experience with a wide variety of programming languages. 51 votes I'm a big fan of Udacity CS101 as a short course introducing you to computer science and to Python programming. Udacity would love for you to pay them $150/month, likely for 3 months, for you to work through the course with personal attention from an advisor, but if you are self motivated and just want to learn, you can take the course for free. It is self-paced, and doesn't impose a schedule... Read More » What are useful social skills that can be picked up quickly?
