Thanks all for the Python links.  This is what was recommended to learn at my Sec542 course and it seems like that's what I will be learning next.

Didn't know Python would be a popular candidate as a beginner language tbh. it's long since due that I started learning that one.

A question on the side: is Java a good language to begin with? It's what I recommended some of my mates since I find it a nice, easy to understand language.

chrisj: It doesn't matter that much if you go for Python 2 or 3. Although there are obviously some differences, it won't be hard to pick up the other one if you have already learned the other one. If you are curious, you could also setup both. You will probably find more information and projects based on Python 2 tough.

awesec: I was wondering. I opened up the first chapter of Dive into Python 3 yesterday and saw it talking about most nix boxes would have it. All my work and home boxes have python 2.x.

Left me a little confused, like php4 and php5 and perl 5 vs 6. Which to learn, what is out and usable.

Just based on what I'm seeing, I think I'm going to go with the python2 for now (when I get to it, have to brush up on shell first).

Yeah stick with python 2.5,.6. Dont think 3 is in full circulation yet and some apps like w3af, immunity debugger do not support it as yet
