I'm working through an introductory Python course. I need to learn it as well as refreshing myself in Javascript. So far it's pretty uneventful, everything is just different syntax, different style - it is just the basics so far after all.
One thing that does stand out so far, though, is the interactive help system. Genius. No need to go off and search around the webs etc. If you want to use a library, enter it into the console. Methods of that library, enter them. The interactive help will gladly show you how they are utilized.
This would be handy in Java. Every now and then I have to refresh my memory on methods etc. It would be nice to be able to simply enter the methods etc into the console and get information on them. It's no problem to just hit the webs but something about integrated help is really cool to me. This is how I am doing the help system in the game engine I'm currently building.
