Learn Python Programming - Second Edition Free eBook

About this book

Learn Python Programming is a quick, thorough, and practical introduction to Python - an extremely flexible and powerful programming language that can be applied to many disciplines. Unlike other books, it doesn't bore you with elaborate explanations of the basics but gets you up-and-running, using the language. You will begin by learning the fundamentals of Python so that you have a rock-solid foundation to build upon. You will explore the foundations of Python programming and learn how Python can be manipulated to achieve results. Explore different programming paradigms and find the best approach to a situation; understand how to carry out performance optimization and effective debugging; control the flow of a program; and utilize an interchange format to exchange data. You'll also walk through cryptographic services in Python and understand secure tokens. Learn Python Programming will give you a thorough understanding of the Python language. You'll learn how to write programs, build websites, and work with data by harnessing Python's renowned data science libraries. Filled with real-world examples and projects, the book covers various types of applications, and concludes by building real-world projects based on the concepts you have learned.

This book sells with the premise that it is a book aimed and beginners, ‘The no-nonsense, beginners guide to programming...’It is not suitable for beginners regardless what other reviewers claim. The writer is obviously a data-scientist as you can tell over and over agin in his text.The language used is complicated and it WILL leave anyone without prior programming knowledge behind within 2 chapters.That said, if you have experience with writing software the technical aspects of Python are covered thoroughly.Be warned, beginners can get better products on Python coding for less money here on Amazon.

I'd made a couple of failed attempts to learn Python till now, because most of the tutorials/books dwell too long on the basics. Although this book does contain an overview of the most basic concepts of imperative programming, it isn't needlessly long and actually these chapters are worth a read just to be aware of several gotchas of Python (e.g. changing default parameters of a function).It gives a nice presentation of doing data science or web development in Python, so you have an idea which topics you could explore further if they are of interest to you. Personally, I was hooked by the chapter about data science which showed how to use the Jupyter Notebook development environment.

I wanted to add at my other programming languages ( c++,Visual Basic, Delphi) another new language. I am very satisfied with python.
