	Let's see... 6 months in High School to learn the rudiments of K&K
BASIC... 3 months each for Intro to FORTRAN, Intro to COBOL, Advanced
FORTRAN, Advanced COBOL, Assembly... 3 months for Pascal... 3 months for
the System Analysis course, 3 months for the data structures&algorithms...
And that was spread over four years of college, where there were other
classes required (set theory, linear algebra, statistics, graph theory).

	C, C++, Ada (80!) were 4-5 day intensive courses that still only gave
one an intro level [32-40 hours just on one language, vs the
13-week@5hours/week => 65 hours college course]

	Then add in OO Analysis, OO Design, etc.

	Learning the syntax and semantics of a single programming language is
NOT learning to program... 

>What is the best way i can master thinker?

	Uhm... tkinter? That's a framework for a graphical environment; tk is
not Python specific. You need to understand how event driven programs
differ from sequential ones.
