I went through the LPTHW program a few months back and it was definitely the best system or book I found on the subject. To be honest, I need to go back through now and do it again, using your advice to do each lesson twice.

My first go through, I kind of rushed through parts because I had an idea I wanted to try out and just wanted to learn enough to get it done (which I did :D)but I think I cheated myself out on some essential Python knowledge.

Yeah, I am definitely glad that I am sticking to some sort of system when doing the exercises, but I admit to not doing every extra credit and glancing over some parts. I could see myself going back through a lot of exercises a year from now as a refresher.

I am hoping that going through it will lay a good foundation for programming, though. With any luck, I will find myself in a position of knowing a fair amount about programming and being able to build up that knowledge by tackling harder material and tutorials while building programs that I am interested in.

Thanks for reading and commenting, by the way. I appreciate any feedback and it's a great motivator when doing an experiment like this.
