My SO is interested in learning Python because she hopes it becomes useful in her work. She works with ArcGIS and/or QGIS and apparently it supports Python scripting so she's thinking about giving it a go.

She has no programming background so I was hoping you friends could suggest something for absolute beginners that would teach her both the Python and programming basics. It doesn't have to be very comprehensive, just something to get her started.

She has managed to get some scripts working through copy/pasting and minor adjustments but she lacks the foundations to really build a script of her own.

Thanks a lot!!

Sweet I'd say automate the boring stuff is excellent.

My meaning was python plus those things is an awesome world of hobby and professional development, that's all. Lots of great projects can be even greater with python
