Hello Everyone!  
I am fairly new in Ignition, and I am seeing Python skills are required to take more advantage of this awesome application which is Ignition.  
Are there any resources you would recommend for begginer in Python?  
Books, videos, links would be much appreciated

Thanks a lot!!

There are plenty of books that you could buy but the thing that helped me out the most was going through the tutorials at [Code Academy](http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/python). It’s a web based program that you can do whenever you have time and it’s free.

I liked that the most because you can do actual programming and see right away if what you did matches what they expected. Some people don’t like it, but for me doing is learning so it worked the best for me.
