Introduction and Request

Hello all!

I just wanted to introduce myself, and ask some questions:

Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm VERY new to the programming/hacking world. I started a couple months ago, but I haven't done much (I can make a calculator on Python, but that's pretty much it). So my question is: What are some good books/PDF's that I can get walking you through Python a little? I have 2.7.2, if that matters much. Also, as an aspiring programmer/hacker/whatever the term is for noobs, what other languages would it be smart to learn?

Thanks in advance!

Dan
