Did you learn programming from that tutorial or just python? What's good about Learn Python the Hard Way is that it first and foremost teaches programming, with python largely being an implementation detail.

Ah, I see. No, I learned programming eons ago with a "Logic of Programming" course at my local community college where the book in question made heavy reference to mainframe programming and came with a stencil for flowcharts. There was no actual coding involved when learning the concepts, just tediously produced flowcharts and ample use of a sketch pad / eraser. Kids these days would be better off learning in a similar fashion.
