Generally good choices. I don't prefer PHP, however. For somebody who
is learning programming, it encourages sloppy programming.
I would suggest that you use PyDev (http://pydev.sourceforge.net/), a
Python plugin for Eclipse, for Python programming. It is a helpful
environment, especially for somebody already using Eclipse.
For resources, I suggest you take a look at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers which is for
non-programmers. If you feel like checking other resources, more are
linked to http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide .
Best luck,
