Need some project ideas? How about:

====Learning Python====

* The official Python tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/. This tutorial is very comprehensive, but it sometimes throws in unnecessarily advanced concepts. This is a solid tutorial for people with prior programming experience, and is still a good tutorial for new programmers if you are willing to skip over the advanced concepts and come back to them later.
* How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python: http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/. This tutorial does a particularly good job of introducing programming concepts and terminology.
* Learn Python the Hard Way: http://learnpythonthehardway.org. Despite the name, some people find this to be a gentler introduction than the official Python tutorial.
* An introduction to Python through writing games: http://inventwithpython.com/chapters/.
* A project/lecture on object oriented programming run by Anna Callahan. Download files here: [[July_project_night/OO_lesson | Object Orientation for beginners]]

====Practicing Python====

* Practice Python online with bite-sized exercises: http://codingbat.com/python.
** We also have custom CodingBat questions from the Boston Python Workshop: http://openhatch.org/wiki/CodingBat.
* Staff from the [[Boston Python Workshop]] will be here to help work through practice projects from the Workshop, including:
** using the Twitter API to write parts of a Twitter client
** wordplay and the power of regular expressions
** programming graphical effects for a ColorWall
** music remixing with the Echo Nest Remix API
* Practice writing code to solve a problem from scratch with the [[Scrabble challenge]].

====Projects and competitions====

* Contribute to an open-source project that uses Python. Developers from [http://openhatch.org OpenHatch], [http://twistedmatrix.com Twisted], and other projects will be here. If you contribute to an open source project that uses Python and want to help new contributors, let us know!
* Want to learn a Python web framework? Check out the Django tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/
* Do data analysis and graphing in Python with the matplotlib plotting library:
