I am new to the world of programming. I have done a few basic linux shell & windows batch scripts, but nothing beyond the basics. I have recently started teaching myself programming via Python. I am working through several online Tutorials and have a couple books I'm skimming through. Best of all, I'm trying to take on projects to challenge myself and expand my knowledge faster... Doing so brings me frequently to Stackoverflow to find answers or ask new questions.

Thanks to everyone who has or will help me, and hopefully I can pay it forward to the next person!
