Re: "(And taking a free on line course in it.)"
Me too, with Python.

I installed PyCharm (a Python programming environment that runs on Windows), then went through the first 5 days of slides and assignments from UVA's introductory Python programming course. Lectures are available online too, but so far I haven't felt the need to watch them. The language reminds me a lot of BASIC.

Tomorrow, I'll start on graphics. (The first assignment is to draw a colored square with something called 'Python Turtle Graphics'.)

Decomposed > Heh. In other words, you're programming!

Yeah, you could say so.
I've been working with Tkinter . . . Making my
program in a graphical environment. I've got
a program which draws a parabola.

And solves the quadratic equation. Funny thing
though . . If I use Pythons square root finder,
and the answer is a complex number (sqrt(-1)
it will give me the answer as a complex number.
If I use the Math functions it refuses and gives
me a 'you can't take the square root of a negative
number' message.

But I am having fun with it.
