\n\"Learning<\/a>
\nNo one would have believed, in the first years of the twenty first centry, that mobile affairs were being watched across many timeless RSS feeds. No one could have dreamed that they were being scrutinized as someone studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few Perl coders even considered the possibility of life with other programming languages. And yet, across the gulf of the blogosphere, a mind immeasurably superior to theirs regarded a certain language with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, he drew his plans to use it.\n<\/p>\n

\nYes, I’m fed up waiting for “Series 60 Perl<\/a> to mature and fed up of J2ME<\/a>‘s long development times and restrictive programming model. I’ve been watching Python<\/a> enviously for a while, and I’ve decided it’s time I added another language to my developers toolbelt.\n<\/p>\n

\nI’ve gone out and bought O’Reilly’s Learning Python 2nd Edition<\/a>, and installed Series 60 Python<\/a> on my Nokia smartphone.\n<\/p>\n

\nI’m about a quarter of the way through the book, and it all seems fairly simple so far.\n<\/p>\n

\nSeries 60 Python looks to be really full featured offering…\n<\/p>\n
