That is interesting because I did it the opposite way. I started with python and switched to ruby. Ruby IMO has more introductory material than python and I was terrified of the idea of reconciling python 2 and 3 which many books I found alluded to.
To be sure, part of the problem with learning to program by ones self is that a lot of background material is lacking and the toolbox is incomplete. For instance, what is an API and how does one learn about it? What are threads? What does runtime really mean? Command line invocations and PATH?
ASCII? and so on for all the entities one will require.
