What's up bros,

Taking my time to learn Python, and I'm going to leave a journal, hopefully someone can take advantage of my learning process and what I do on a day to day basis. I'm good at HTML/CSS, decent at JavaScript, know a little bit of C#/C++, and am starting Python. Main reason for a journal is motivation. I'll be starting tomorrow.

My goal is to build a program that will be able to access my e-mail, and then pull out certain strings. I ran a bot I made in C# a while ago, and there's about 3000 xbox live codes in my inbox that I need to grab. Will be a toughie I think, but just going to start coding.

So, day 1, I've installed python, and tomorrow I'll start doing some example code from Learn Python The Hard Way | A Beginner Programming Book

Thanks!

EDIT: does anyone know a good Python IDE? don't want to code from the cmd prompt, nor do I want to install Linux...
 


That will be really simple.

Step 1) use imap or pop3 library
Step 2) output results.

It'll be good practice though
 
I just remembered something. If you dont mind spending a little money O'Reilly offers a decent course.
 
Second for Sublime. Fantastic app, worth much more than the $40ish it costs.
 
Python powerful and easy to learn programming language. Python is strongly typed, dynamically, implicitly typed and object-oriented.
