Learning Python
I'm always eager to learn new things, so I've been exploring Python a bit lately. I'm gradually learning the ropes of Django, and I've also been working my way through this tutorial for developing a desktop-based roguelike.
I'm really digging it so far. Python's syntax is ultra-clean and easy to learn, and as far as I can tell, Django lives up to its promise of rapid, scalable application development. I've always shied away from the major PHP frameworks, which strike me as bloated and over-complex—but working with Django has been an entirely different experience. It takes care of all the repetitive grunt work, so you can focus on the creative stuff and the big picture.
It'll be a while before my Python skills are up to speed with my PHP skills, but I can definitely see myself adding Python to my daily toolbox—or even switching to Python as my primary language.
