    Hi Rahil,

     

    A good starting point is the educational manual (PDF link here).

    It contains a section on Python to get started.

    Great educational manual.  I have a different hard copy book at home that focuses more on the python language.  I like the manual you referenced as it covers python and scratch ( I have yet to play with it).  I've been using either C or Python for my simple Pi projects just to learn more about different ways to control things. 

     

    My beginning interest in the Pi started when I was researching how to control LED lights so I could do something unique with my 66 Ford F250.  That is till my goal project but after getting into the Pi I've gone bananas with all kinds of different things.  LED control, LCD screens, DC motor control...  Right now I'm playing with using python to drive a stepper motor.  Got that part down now seeing if I can interface the motor control to an analog joystick. 

     

    Just starting out I found that grabbing a starter kit is a great investment.  Mine came with LED's both single color and an RGB (which I used to create a red and blue flashing light for my son), resistors, diodes, sonic transmitter and receiver, 16 x 2 LCD screen, small breadboard and a vast assortment of jumper wires.  I snagged mine with a Raspberry Pi but there are kits available on ebay without the Pi.  I have not checked the element14 store yet so you may want to start there.

     

    I would also check out The Ben Heck Show and Jerri Ellsworth here at element14  Very inspirational and has my idea wheels turning!!
