georgia_tech_swagger Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Being disgusted with the state of message boards out there, I have started an open source project to create one. http://sourceforge.net/projects/utopiabb/ UtopiaBB is a message board that will be written entirely in Python. It aims to be secure, fast, highly modular, and feature rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_ion Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Python is my native language. :) I'm pretty busy with many things (work, school, college apps, writing a Python tutorial), but I suppose I could make small contributions to the project.

armadaender Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I kinda suck at python, but im learning! Same here, I started playing around with it about a month ago but because of school I havn't had much time to code often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgia_tech_swagger Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Cool. I intend to hand out CVS/Subversion access like candy to people who submit patches ... run things like a real open source project. Just post a message on the SF Project Forum or contact me if you know Python (or want to learn it) and want to contribute.... I'll hook you up.

PoyBoy Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I wanna learn. Is the official docs the best place, short of buying anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgia_tech_swagger Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Yes, the official docs are a good start. If you can find it for cheap, "Beginning Python" by Apress is a TERRIFIC book, and what I'm using to learn Python. Really, you can start writing basic Python programs in an hour if you put your mind to it. And it's very powerful. A calculator in Python is a one-liner.

PoyBoy Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Nice. Its like 15 lines in the variant-of-basic-designed-for-shitty-games i was learining, until I was enlightened :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_ion Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 What I first used to learn Python: http://hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php Its short and introduces you with everything quite nicely, not comprehensive, but can give you a good footing in Python.

tx Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Anyone give me a lowdown on the perl vs python debate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technologique Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yeah, I'll freely admit, I've never, /ever/ looked into programming before, but after reading the hetland link, I'm looking into python as an introduction into programming. Pretty cool stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgia_tech_swagger Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 We have begun coding in earnest.... I'm handing out SVN access like candy for any Python coder interested.
