Welcome To Python101 |
Python101 was created to help those that are new to Python but have some programming knowledge in any language. Python101 focuses on using Python in conjunction with CGI to allow interaction between the user and the webserver. The driving force behind creating Python101 was the complete lack of readable Python examples on the internet. For someone coming over from ASP, Cold Fusion or even PHP, the Python examples on the internet seem like hieroglyhpics. Hopefully we have righted some of that wrong and you are able to understand and comprehend our tutorials, articles and examples. - Jay (Webmaster of Python101)

- Have a webhost that supports Python. Not sure, read this
- An FTP client to move the files to your server. Need one? We got some.
- A HTML/Code editor to write our first program in. See #2 in case you don't have one.
- Instructions for writing your First Python Script
- Copious amounts of Barqs or Coke by your computer.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, often compared to Perl, Java or Tcl. Python requires an intepreter to run, which means you don't turn Python programs into executables like you would in VB or C++. Their are two ways to use Python, locally using the interpreter or on the web via CGI. Python101 focuses on using Python thru CGI.

Thats a good question, and one that no doubt has caused friends to fight and lovers to seperate. There is no clear cut reason why you should, what I can tell you, is why I chose to learn it. Python is easier to read/learn then Perl, it's faster at text/file processing then CF, ASP or PHP and it's available on every single *nix webhost.
