Awesome have fun and i'll be looking for more advanced tutorials if thatones to easy.

 

[Luke]

iv got to the point when i need to know how to change directories in the command prompt, i don't know how to do it so could u explain it to me please.

 

[Ste]

cd (Directory name)

Microsoft Corporation

 

[Luke]

so all i do is in the command prompt is type cd python25


Edit: i di that and it didn't owkr then i remembered that u have to say its in the c drive and now it worked, thanks.

haha nice luke how's it working for you?

 

[Luke]

its going good, i have wrote a few scripts for practise, all have worked for me. but i don't really get the point of writing them, why do i want the command prompt to tell me some numbers or words. when will i get to the point where the scripts write programs that do things?

GUI will come into play later on.

 

[Luke]

what does GUI do anyway?

 

[DawnOfDoom]

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface

windows xp is a GUI system. and you will learn how to make those in Java/Javascript and then you can run the python in the java script or adapt the python to be java.

but IMO start with Python go to Perl>C>C++>C#>Java

 

[Luke]

but arn't all these types of code different, wouldn't that be like learning 4 languages, why didn't i just start with java. or are all these codes basically the same but more advanced?
