  • Fun intro to Python

    I've thought I should learn about Python. I've thought I'd love to code in Minecraft. Hey presto! It's a two birds, one stone scenario. I haven't completed the book but so far it's all been free! (Except the book :) ) it's simple to understand and well explained. I'm enjoying it. I'm sure you will too.
