Where is your favorite vacation travel spot and what makes it your favorite?

Impressive! One of my buds was working out at the track with a bunch of other guys (rugby training) when a guy showed up with all this sound equipment. He asked if they'd be willing to help him. The guy asked them to march along the cinder track as he recorded the sounds. Slow march, fast march, out of step, etc. They got a kick out of it but never learned where the sounds were to be used.

Naïve question, sorry: Why would someone with no programing experience (me) want to learn Python? I find the idea of coding appealing, but struggle to find a reason for acquiring the knowledge. It's like a city apartment dweller taking a tree pruning course.

Thanks! Yeah, I've seen a lot of these on-line systems, but they don't go into the sort of detail that I'm looking for. Looks like I might have to have a swing at this ball after all. Cheers!

I work with people who use MS Excel as a database; not for making calculations, but searching and sorting to identify tasks, who's responsible for the task, at what state is the task, the date something was updated, etc.

It drives me bananas because I know what a spreadsheet is for. "If only we had a proper on-line database where people could record and update this information," I hear myself say too often.

Can Python be used to create something like this?
