After listening and reading a lot about this open source development language, I have decided to make proper schedule to learn this language. While googling I have found some nice tutorials for learning Python. I am sure you will also find these links useful.

1. Thinking in Python
2. Dive Into Python

At first look at Python, I am enthusiastic about learning more and more about it.

I have found this really cool utility that adds drop-down lists to regular textbox control in virtually any program installed on your computer.
Edit Buddy

Edit Buddy is a small fully configurable program that saves your time and hassle by adding drop-down lists to regular input fields in all programs throughout your system. These lists can remember history of input entered before by user and also can be pre-configured to contain certain set of data.

Picture 1: Regular edit field.

Picture 2: Edit Buddy shows drop-down list.

The sample dialog box above represents “Find” feature of regular Notepad. Edit Buddy can also attach itself to all standard “Open” and “Save” dialog boxes to store the list of most recently used folders and/or files.

Let me share a very small and nice utility tool for pasting plain text from clipboard. When you copy rich content from any web page, or word document, or help file etc., Window also keep all formatting of copied content in clipboard and when you paste this content to any other application like MS Word or VS.NET, you land up with unwanted formatting as well with copied content. This utility will simply remote those unwanted formatting stuff and paste clean text from clipboard from original source.

Utility Name: PureText 2.0

Now you don’t have to paste copied content into NotePad first and then copy plain content from NotePad and paste again in target application.

To use his tool, simply copy rich content from any web page and use configured hot-key to paste text into your target applications (word/excel/VS.NET etc). Default hotkey for pasting plain text is Window+V which you can change from “Options” windows.
