Frankly, my advice to you is: Don't. You've been writing code for a few months, that's great; but starting a company is a completely different thing to do. I would recommend that you primarily code purely for pleasure - that way, if you mess something up, you don't lose money. And then if you want to go professional, get a salaried job at someone else's company, rather than starting your own. It's a HUGE job to run your own company, and that's not something your Python coding skill will help with. Tax, legal requirements, profitability... headaches you don't need. Now, if you're already experienced at running a business, and want to know what Python can do to make your life easier... that we can answer! There are all sorts of automation and convenience jobs you can do with Python. But that's quite different from what I think you're asking here. ChrisA
