Portable, powerful, and a breeze to use, Python is ideal for both <br />
standalone programs and scripting applications. With this hands-on book, <br />
you can master the fundamentals of the core Python language quickly and <br />
efficiently, whether you're new to programming or just new to Python. <br />
Once you finish, you will know enough about the language to use it in <br />
any application domain you choose. Learning Python is based on material <br />
from author Mark Lutz's popular training courses, which he's taught over <br />
the past decade. Each chapter is a self-contained lesson that helps you <br />
thoroughly understand a key component of Python before you continue. <br />
Along with plenty of annotated examples, illustrations, and chapter <br />
summaries, every chapter also contains Brain Builder, a unique section <br />
with practical exercises and review quizzes that let you practice new <br />
skills and test your understanding as you go. This book covers: <br />
- Types and Operations -- Python's major built-in object types in <br />
depth: numbers, lists, dictionaries, and more <br />
- Statements and Syntax -- the code you type to create and process <br />
objects in Python, along with Python's general syntax model <br />
- Functions -- Python's basic procedural tool for structuring and <br />
reusing code <br />
- Modules -- packages of statements, functions, and other tools <br />
organized into larger components <br />
- Classes and OOP -- Python's optional object-oriented programming <br />
tool for structuring code for customization and reuse <br />
- Exceptions and Tools -- exception handling model and statements, <br />
plus a look at development tools for writing larger programs <br />
Learning Python gives you a deep and complete understanding of the <br />
language that will help you comprehend any application-level examples of <br />
Python that you later encounter. If you're ready to discover what Google <br />
and YouTube see in Python, this book is the best way to get started. <br />
