http://apcmag.com/how-to-dual-boot-windows-8-and-linux.htm suggests it
is doable.  If you have trouble, though, I'd suggest using VirtualBox on
Win8 and running Ubuntu inside VirtualBox, rather than fighting for too
long just to get dual boot to work.  http://www.virtualbox.org

OK.  You'll learn more by working with Python.  Which way is faster for
you to arrive at a working software product is hard to say... it
probably depends how fast you learn Python and the "Quickly" programming
approach.

Whichever way you choose, have fun :)
