Although Python is a high-level language, it is not English or some other natural human language. The Python translator does not understand “add the numbers two and three”. Python is a formal language with its own specific rules and formats, which these tutorials will introduce gradually, at a pace intended for a beginner. These tutorials are also appropriate for beginners because they gradually introduce fundamental logical programming skills. Learning these skills will allow you to much more easily program in other languages besides Python. Some of the skills you will learn are

SSH (Secure SHell) is a network protocol which provides a replacement for insecure remote login and command execution facilities, such as telnet, rlogin and rsh. SSH encrypts traffic in both directions, preventing traffic sniffing and password theft. SSH also offers several additional useful features:
• Compression: traffic may be optionally compressed at the stream level.
• Public key authentication: optionally replacing password authentication.
• Authentication of the server: making ”man-in-the-middle” attack more difficult
• Port forwarding: arbitrary TCP sessions can be forwarded over an SSH connection.
• X11 forwarding: SSH can forward your X11 sessions too.
• File transfer: the SSH protocol family includes two file transfer protocols.

In this tutorial, we will assume that our organization has a single LDAP directory containing some information about our
users, while a MySQL database is used to contain further information about users that is accessible via a web
interface. For now, we will simply work toward providing a means for LDAP-ready applications to access data within
the MySQL database used by our web application. This is easily achieved using VDS.

Assumptions
1. VDS is installed and configured properly; VDS is currently running.
2. An LDAP directory such as Active Directory is already installed and accessible from the computer on which VDS is installed.
3. A MySQL database server is already installed and accessible from the computer on which VDS is installed.
4. A MySQL database called “test” has been created, and contains a table called “users” with a schema that contains the following items:
`uid` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`Title` varchar(255) default ”,
`FirstName` varchar(255) default ”,
`LastName` varchar(255) default ”,
`Company` varchar(255) default ”,
`EmailDisplayName` varchar(255) default ”,
`EmailAddress` varchar(255) default ”
5. The MySQL table called “users” is populated with at least one entry.
6. The LDAP directory is accessible on port 389 (default ldap port) and the MySQL server is accessible on port 3306 (default mysql port).
7. Port 3890 is available on the computer in which VDS is installed.

Open source has brought a lot more than Linux to the computing world. It has also given us PHP and MySQL. According to Graeme, PHP and MySQL are the world’s best combination for creating data-driven sites. In the first installment of this three- lesson tutorial, our Kiwi guide covers everything you need to know to begin developing database hubs. He gives instructions for installation on both Unix and Windows, and then goes on to show some simple scripts that will insert information into a database and display that data on a Web page.
