Re: looking for good resources on python and powershell

Honestly I just learn as I go.  google plus the docs.python.org are
invaluable.  If your looking for some example code, I happily offer my
github for your perusal.

I don't follow the PEP8 guideline very strictly (mainly I use 2 spaces
instead of 4 for code blocks) however should get you a pretty good baseline
on some projects written in python.

One of the best peices of advice I can give you when it comes to python is
to try to learn hot to write your code to be modular.  This will really help
in making code reusable and importable into larger projects.  Also looking
into DRY and just like PEP8, try to follow it, but there isn't any need to
be religious about it.

I'm presently making an attempt to learn python myself.  I'm currently
going through http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ step by step.  I don't
have any real coding background so it's a very basic start.  After I get
through that I'll probably try to find a more advanced book if I need it and
can certainly share my findings.  I would be interested in hearing
suggestions from other as well though.

Thanks Brett.

 Basically, I need it for a short term job that I will be taking up.
I don't have all the details yet, but it will involve some work with AD.

But, in any case, I want to improve my knowledge in this area.
