Computer Programming for Everybody Using Python

Ursus Maximus writes "Python City, formerly known as the Python Liberation Front, is an attempt to further Guido van Rossum's dream of making computer programming accessible to any intelligent person. Featuring more than 20 detailed reviews of programming books,presented from a newbie's point of view, as well as links to 14 tutorials for learning Python, the site is a good starting point for folks interested in scripting. In addition, you will find an online interactive script for Choosing Your Own Programming Language, based on one's own preferences, expectations, and priorities, While the script is written in JavaScript, there are no apologies for any perceived bias towards Python ;-)))). You will also find several interesting and fun GPL'ed scripts such as askMerlin, an online, artificially intellgent Oracle; DecisionAnalysis, to help you make up your mind; and myGale, a webcrawler to routinely collect all online articles about Python. Add in a dash of Monty Python humor and newbies will find learning Python to be not only painless but indeed, fun!"

Can you please let us know what city you live in, so we don't make the mistake of moving to a town that has the myopic view that sentencing convicted drunks to teach and interact with our kids is a GOOD thing?

And if you put in all 0's, Lisp is the best. Apparently it's good for those who don't want anything to do with programming.

Also, there is a combination of settings that will mean Visual Basic wins, although Python and C are the only ones that are "best in their category".
