To learn LFS what language are you using and what studies do you suggest.
If any of you know Python, how did you learn?

Just by playing with it. For me it was, AMX Mod, and SmallC, they have a bunch of plugins that you could compile with the tools they gave you, and they also had a bunch of people making plugins for these Counter - Strike servers that would add things like jetpacks and crap like that. I was like, that's awesome, I want to be able to do that! So I found the source code of the plugins, as AMX Mod was under the GPL everyone had to give out their source code for their plugins if they gave out the binary on the forums. From there, I started playing on the servers with the plugin devs, helping them test their plugins, they would give me the code, and say, I'm having a problem in this area of the plugin, from Line X to Line Y, and that's what I need you to test. Just by doing things like that you learn alot about how to program because you see how the engine and how your actions with the engine and there by your actions effect the plugin. It was a pretty easy way of learning for me. This is what I'm trying to get at with PRISM, people that don't know how to program, learning PHP from the fun side, games! Learning about event based programming with it.

I used Dive Into Python to learn Python.

But you have no formal education on the subject?

Nope, I have no format education in Python or any other programming topic.

Python was the first programming language I learned at uni, I'm currently on my second year doing BSc and MSc in computer science. I had no previous programming experience (or at least nothing worth mentioning). It was about half way through 'programming fundamentals' (=the first course in python) I started playing with insim things - DarkTimes' library (and documentation and examples) are quite simply awesome. I had literally no idea how to do anything but just by experimenting with things I was actually able to do something useful with it.

As experience grew I started noticing better, more intelligent ways to do things I had previously done very time consumingly. Amazing how much you can learn about shit by just ****ing about with things

Now a year and a half (and many programming courses) later I look back at what I was doing previously and I've actually been trying to put some effort into completing something I started with last year. Problems that a year ago seemed unsolvable are now self explanatory.

So do you need a cs degree to do insim stuff? No, just a lot of practice. Remember programming skill isn't bound to a specific programming language (even though for example python is quite good to start with. I've still no clue how the C library works :| ). It is however a hell of a lot of work to do, starting with the basics and progressing to more 'complicated' design patterns. Many have the noble idea of learning something on their own and most of them fail - except for mr. DarkTimes apparently, massive props to you for learning something so comprehensively.
