I understand companies need to make some money, but I never met a website that was to special; I would sit through their slick Ads. I don't mind a few links, but lately I won't even bother to swipe to see an answer(usually wrong too).

As, to "Do you want it for free Dude"--Yea, at this point I do. When websites evolve into "must have", or can teach a complex subject fast people will sit through a lot of bull chit ads. I feel the teaching of programming languages in a fast, concise, manner is really in demand. I'm getting off subject, but lately I trying to learn the basics of programming. The core concepts to all languages, then python and ruby. Zeb Shaw's website is the only teaching site I can I can stomach. Those dudes at Harvard and MIT, who throw candy, mean well, but are painfully slow. Yea, I'm really off subject, but there's got to be a natural teacher out there who can spit this information out fast, or at least offer a free way of speeding up their presentations? I'll shut up. Bye-

A good (but unfortunately not free) Python resource is usingpython.com. It's meant for GCSE students, but it is concise and teaches the basics.
