I think I can help you overcome your fear of Python. Now I’m not talking about the slithery hissing kind but the scarier computer language kind. Python.org assures you that “Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first time programmer or you're experienced with other languages.” In my introduction I will discuss everything from downloading, non-programmers, and programming regulars in the efforts of learning Python.
Below is a link to the official site’s step by step guide to installing Python for any of the individuals that are first timers or have trust issues with downloading anything from websites you aren’t familiar with. It covers step by step instructions for both PC and Mac users so don’t fret.
Beginner's Guide, Download & Installation
Next, I have a Link to a guide for helping any of the non-programmers looking at learning. If the phrase “for loop” or “if/else statement” don’t ring any bells this guide is the one for you. With time you will be prepared for the programmers guide but until then I recommend sticking with the non-programmers guide.
Beginner's Guide, Non-Programmers
Finally, for those that are very familiar with programing, below is the link to a guide for teaching Python on a more advanced pace. Fair warning though if you haven’t programmed in a while you might want to start off with the Non-Programmers guide above just to get re acquainted to it all again, there may be some concepts or ideas in the programming guide that you may have difficulty jumping back into. No one will think less of you for using it, promise!

Thank you for reading, my name is Taylor Burleson and I normally blog about scripting within Unity 3D but Sharon was kind enough to allow me to be her guest blogger for this week.
