This is the first of my Python Basics series... And, yes I know a new video was overdue by a few weeks but I have been very busy! In this tutorial I will: tell you a few basic commands such as 'print', I will teach you some useful Programming tips and also how to use the Python interface in general. Sadly, YouTube didn't let me put this into a whole video and because of that this is only Part 2 of 2... Please take a look at Part 1! My channel:

Info:
A REALLY good beginners Python book would be (Amazon link):
amazon.co.uk/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-Dawson/dp/1435455002/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354397481&sr=8-1
I have to say a MASSIVE thank you to David Ryan who redesigned my logo for me! It looks fantastic and I am so glad that someone would spend the time and effort on such a key element to my YouTube channel! Thanks again!
If you have any problems or if some info is incorrect or if you just want me to know about your Raspberry Pi project, please do contact me! Either via YouTube or at:

I will (and this is a promise!) read your email, however, I have been very busy recently and so I might not be able to answer straight away!
Happy Piing... :-)

![The Centre for Computing History...
This is not a usual post for me but I thought that all of you guys should see it! Recently The Centre for Computing History has moved to Cambridge and I had the pleasure of going there on Saturday: it surpassed my wildest expectations! Everywhere you look there are working computers that you can use, from Apple ][s to Raspberry Pis and BBC Micros. I could lose myself for hours just playing on the old games consoles, which of you remember the Atari 2600 or the NES? Own up?! The place is filled with history and it is beautifully set up and maintained: I liked it so much that I am now a volunteer! You can hear much more about the museum at there website here:

The museum is located in Cambridge UK but even if you have to trek 100 miles to see it you will not be disappointed! I took my brother (who has no interest whatsoever in computers and told me that the whole experience would be borrrrinnngg) and we had trouble dragging him out of there...
Simply put: just go!
