As always you need a project to work on and this was mine. I don't find switching languages hard and am quite in tune with them as there are always tons of examples on the internet.

In this case, I had to work with Hive account@holger80's documentation which was quite painful at times. You have to keep trying things until it works. I had a lot of problems when I started and it took a while for anything to work.

The spacing thing is weird. Python will stop with an error if you code is incorrectly spaced. Never seen that before.
