    Every time I try and learn Python I loose the plot, unfortunately years of using C and Visual Basic for work have set my mind in stone.

    Just try and remember when you used to write pseudo code. It’s closer to that than C.

    Reading the free sample pages, certainly appears to be well written compared to some of the KDP Python free drivel that keeps popping up on here.
