I'm okay with vbscript, javascript and fine with php, but one thing
that has bugged me about Python, personally, is how widely spread it
is and because of this... I'm not entirely sure where to start
learning.
Like, with jscript or vbscript, you can practice doing local scripts
that run on Windows and do stuff, or practice visually doing stuff on
a webpage. PHP can be practiced on a webpage as well, of course.. but
with Python, it can be on a webpage, XSI, Maya, Houdini, Windows
standalone, and possibly more platforms I haven't thought of.... so,
in what context do I learn it first? I'm confused!
Obviously the context of XSI is of importance to me, but I also wonder
if when learning Python for the first time, it may be a better or
easier option to just begin playing around by running code from the
commandline interpreter or something. What do you think?
