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