Hello All,
There is a lot I could suggest, but I will start with a couple of
brief suggestions:
a) The tutorial on python.org has a good reputation. I took a class,
so by the time I looked into it, I knew the basics.
b)
http://www.spss.com/devcentral/ has just been revised and updated
with lots of links.
c)
http://rmi.net/~lutz/ I took this python expert's class and found
it very helpful, although the only things he knows about SPSS's new
features he has discussed with me. His book is quite good, and he
class at $1000 for three days is a great deal. The only problem is
that he does mostly onsite trainings, so his next public class is
October. I found it helpful to put Python into context since no one
else there is likely to know SPSS. Hint: go ahead and buy Learning
Python, but if you want the more complete Programming Python wait
until the new edition comes out in a month. I am read the first, but
am waiting on the later myself.
d)
http://www.spss.com/spss/SPSS_programming_data_mgmt.pdf has python
stuff, but only if you get the third edition.
Good luck!
Keith
