I haven't seen any beginning PoserPython tutorials online yet. I'm currently working on some tutorials specific to PoserPython but don't have any available to the public at this time. Since you're a seasoned programmer, the links you mentioned above would be a really good place to start for Python. Another area that you'll want to dig into (and deeply) is tkInter. That's the GUI for Python that's also in PoserPython. Till I get the tutes up, I'd suggest looking at the example scripts that are in the runtime/Python path and dropping by here for answers to problems. BTW your 'newbieness' is just fine. ;-)
