I've been writing Java for the last couple of years , and now I've started to write in python (in addition).

By normal programming, I'm referring to application programming (which is all I'm familiar with at the moment). My goal is to make games, and I wanted to know if the path was different than other programming paths at the beginner level. Or perhaps it's too early for me to worry about that at this…
