After spending many years with C, VB6 and various other languages I came to Python about two years ago. Being self taught I did struggle with some areas where many books are weak and self learning is a one way process you cannot ask questions. One of my biggest issues was dictionaries and once I got my head around them the fact they were not sorted (a major issue in my view).

However it is a powerful high level language and like SQL Server under Linux I am happy to welcome it!  🙂
