hello friends, As Kartik has started with his course discussion, I would like to add something more :) last month Juan Carlos visited our college, he is a founder(not sure) of Hipatia(www.hipatia.info) which is somewhat related to Free Software Foundation. With his ideas and support we have planned to start an institute called "GNU Gyan Institute" All the courses will be related to Free Software Technologies. Till now some courses like GNU/Linux, PHP/MySQL and Perl are fixed to be taught I have recommended Python too. If anyone is interested in the course can contact me, my number is displayed on the homepage i would like to know which books are good for the course so that we can have it in our library thanx, kunal __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
