About this title

Synopsis:

Text Processing in Python describes techniques for manipulation of text using the

Python programming language. At the broadest level, text processing is simply

taking textual information and doing something with it. This might be

restructuring or reformatting it, extracting smaller bits of information from it,

or performing calculations that depend on the text. Text processing is arguably

what most programmers spend most of their time doing. Because Python is

clear, expressive, and object-oriented it is a perfect language for doing text

processing, even better than Perl. As the amount of data everywhere continues

to increase, this is more and more of a challenge for programmers. This book is

not a tutorial on Python. It has two other goals: helping the programmer get

the job done pragmatically and efficiently; and giving the reader an

understanding - both theoretically and conceptually - of why what works works

and what doesn't work doesn't work. Mertz provides practical pointers and tips

that emphasize efficent, flexible, and maintainable approaches to the textprocessing

tasks that working programmers face daily.

About the Author:

David Mertz came to writing about programming via the unlikely route of first being a humanities professor. Along the way, he was a senior software developer, and now runs his own development company, Gnosis Software ("We know stuff!"). David writes regular columns and articles for IBM developerWorks, Intel Developer Network, O'Reilly ONLamp, and other publications.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
