NEW BOUNDARIES IN PROGRAMMING

Coming from a background of basically programming in C and Java, at an introductory level I was taken aback when at my new internship I was told that I had to learn a new language. This after spending all those sleepless nights learning the syntax and structures of these languages, jumping out of nightmares where I was being haunted by a group of syntax errors and no debugging tools to defend myself with. "Miss Keada we need you to learn Python!", damn it another month of headaches. Suprisingly I visited the python.org site and started viewing some of the tutorials which had some examples of code that resembled a cross between java and c pseudocode. Could this be true? Can a language be syntactically simple and concise, yet so powerful? Look for my next posting as I explore and learn more about the wonders of the Python programming language.
