General Development Most of us that work in the IT industry have been around for a long time. We started out in our parents basement writing code in some BASIC environment, ussually Commodore BASIC or QBASIC. Do you remember how thrilling it was? Your first program and it was something extremely basic but the point was it worked. Some of us got hooked right away and kept trying to solve problems and added more and more pushing the capabilities of whatever language we used. As we got older the environments progressed and the programming tools progressed and got more complicated.

The title is "Programming Tools for the Hobbyist" ; I interpret it as "Free or Cheap Programming Tools", and in that way this has been a very good reading for me, I love to learn about free tools I did not know. Thanks for all the cool links Robert !

Now a lot of people seem to like Python a lot. I don't know it, could anyone advise me a good IDE for Python/Windows with a GUI designer ?
