Learn+another+language

Although we will be spending most of our time using Python in this course, learning another computer language is great experience for you. You may choose to learn virtually any language you want, though I would recommend that you try JavaScript ([|decent tutorial here]). If you are feeling really ambitious and want to learn some other language, feel free to ask me for approval. For the most part, I'll let you learn any language you'd like, so long as we can get you set up fairly easily.

To prove your budding aptitude in this new language you have learned, you are going to write a simple program that converts from one unit of measurement to another. You can choose whatever conversion you would like (km to miles, etc). Make sure your code is well commented, then hand in your assignment to me (ask me how I'd like you to do this -- I will want the electronic copy).
