Preface

Python is a very high-level, general-purpose language that features a large number of powerful high-level and low-level libraries and frameworks that complement its delightful syntax. This easy-to-follow guide teaches you new practices and techniques to optimize your code and then moves on to more advanced ways to effectively write efficient Python code. Small and simple practical examples will help you test the concepts introduced, and you will be able to easily adapt them to any application.

Throughout this book, you will learn to build highly efficient, robust, and concurrent applications. You will work through practical examples that will help you address the challenges of writing concurrent code, and also you will learn to improve the overall speed of execution in multiprocessor and multicore systems and keep them highly available.
