personal project, probably more than 1k but less than million. Will include many sub-systems and features that I will have to build all from scratch.

I meant for personal projects that are medium/large sized. I usually start these projects after multiple smaller "Test" projects only to quit halfway through because of bandaid over bandaid over bandaid.

Thanks for the answer. Do you know of an easy way to combine python and another language like C# or C++? Python and C are the only languages I barely know.

Does python count as a functional scripting language?

poo in loo paid another dude to develop program and sign an nda.

poo in loo took all the credit and said she developed it all herself. This is false because the author did a few things to see if all the code was written by the same person. Because it was obviously written by more than one person she is indisputably lying.

That's a great present!

I recommend starting with python for the Pi, as there are many resources online for help. Arduino micro controllers are a great way to teach people how programming works as well, however that is more hardware oriented IMO than Pi.

Thanks for the really in depth answer!

I've only ever done Ruby, HTML, CSS, and Python (And very, very basic python).

Hey, thanks for your input. Any tips on how to get Python and HTML5 working together? I have experience with Python itself, not the web version. I've almost no experience with HTML either.

Thanks for telling me about Qt and the databases. I'll look into it tonight.

Any general pointers for Python or HTML in general?
