So, I am by no means a Python expert, or even moderately good at it, but I've been making strides in learning by building my own webapp. See, things really didn't "click" until I had to apply them to something I'm personally interested in. I could do all the tutorials in the world but then as soon as I tried doing something on my own, I'd fail. The key is to just accept that you'll fail immediately when you start out (and feel like an idiot), but keep going and keep solving small problems until the whole website comes together. Took me from early December to mid Jan to get a full website up from not knowing Python/Django in the slightest. (I did do 1.5 years in CSC learning Java in college, but transferred to an art major... but the prev. experience with a different language certainly helped with learning Python). The app: http://weddinginvitelove.com http://weddinginvitelove.com I started out by finding a tutorial doing something kind of related (took a blog tutorial, turned a blog post model into a designer profile). Found some friends who were experts in Django (both of whom I only knew through Twitter at that point) to bounce questions off of ("I'm trying to do this but it isn't working, what am I doing wrong?"). Their help was invaluable. So, basically, just start doing it and you'll start picking it up a lot faster.
