Synopsis:

HIGHLIGHT

Updated from the classic original, The Quick Python Book, Second Edition

will help working programmers become proficient in Python, from basics to

advanced functions.

DESCRIPTION

The Quick Python Book, Second Edition, is a clear, concise introduction to Python

3, aimed at programmers new to Python. This updated edition includes all the

changes in Python 3, itself a significant shift from earlier versions of Python.

The book begins with basic but useful programs that teach the core features of

syntax, control flow, and data structures. It then moves to larger applications

involving code management, object-oriented programming, web development,

and converting code from earlier versions of Python.

True to his audience of experienced developers, the author covers common programming

language features concisely, while giving more detail to those features

unique to Python.

versions who want to quickly grasp the new features of Python 3

• Teaches best practices for objected oriented design and testing

• Demonstrates how to use regular expressions and Java with Python

• Key concepts illustrated with clear, simple examples and annotated code
