Well, 10 years ago I received a minor in Computer Science.  however, the
BASIC-styled languages was where I was strongest -- BASIC, Modula-2, etc.  I
took C, but never really did much with it.  I then abandon it so I could go
on to systems-styled computing.  I'm a Netware CNE.  So, to sum up, a while
ago I programmed, but on simple systems, usually on VAX systems.  My
programming experience is limited.

I've never done event-driven programming until now.  I'm working on a system
that grabs video from multiple networked Axis video cameras and records the
frames to the hard drive.  Then I want to extend the system.  I've bought 3
python books.  I use wxGlade to 'paint' the GUI.  I have Learning Python by
Chris Felihy, The Python Cookbook and Mark Hammond's book on Win32
programming.  I mostly use Windows, but I'd like the portability to use
Linux as my main server so I can reap the benefits of the new Reiser4
filesystem.

I know nothing of MVC, except that something called MVC exists and it's
somehow a model of seperating the program logic from display.  Haven't found
a good HOWTO yet.

I have been programming the system as an entire wxPython program, but with
my relative inexperience with Python and rustyness with programming in
general, I feel as though I'm mostly fighting against myself.  Class
programming is new to me, Event-driven is new to me but I think I can handle
it.  GUI is new to me also, but I'm getting thru it I believe with tools
like wxPython and wxGlade.
