Hi all, I'm new here and have absolutely no experience programming. I figured to give python a try. I bought "Learning Python" from the O'Reilly series and find it rather confusing. I've been also reading/working through some online tutorials.

Everything I've been reading seems incoherant and doesn't seem to make too much sense. I'm going to college late in the game (I'm 26 now), and going for computer science. I figure why waste more time, why not learn as much as I can even outside of classes.

Basically, is it expected that I catch on to this quickly or do I have ADD? lol, thanks for any responses.
