As suggested by Max, "<small><small><font size="5"><small><small>Think
Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist</small></small></font></small></small>"
is the best choice. You can have a glance on these:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/">http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.diveintopython.net/#download">http://www.diveintopython.net/#download</a><br>
<br>
Of course, you could look at python official website:

Hope this will help.<br>

<pre><span>I'm not a specialist of Python. I do have just basic skills of it. It seems that it's not a big deal to learn it in depth (i.e. OOP). So let's move forward with Python.

<p class="MsoNormal">From my basic thought

<p class="MsoNormal">A. Ability to enter

B. Generate simple stand/stocking reports

<p class="MsoNormal">Abdoul, what's your
familiarity with Python over C++? For QGIS
plugins (our initial intention) Python is the
way to go and offers better accessibility via
the plugin installer. C++ <i>may</i> have
some benefits, but would be a bit more
difficult for the average user to install.</p>

Hi Lee,<br>
<br>
I think that's a good idea to formalize
the project further. I believe that we
should start from what you already
suggested regarding the different tasks.
We can work from that starting point.
Can you take the lead so everyone can
add his (her) suggestions ? This will
help obviously to get on truck and to
make sure that<span> </span>we are
moving on to the right direction.<br>
<br>
I was wondering about the design of the
software / system / plugin : e.g.
building classes, inheritance, ...Or
maybe it's to early?<br>
<br>
In the meanwhile, I'll start looking at
A1.<br>
<br>
All the best </p>
