Über dieses E-Book

You?re already a smart person, you don?t need a 1000+ page book to get you started on the web?s fastest growing programming platform. Instead,ÿLearn Python in One Hourÿdelivers on the promise of code literacy while saving your most precious commodity ? time itself. Volkman?s innovative programming-by-example approach means you focus on usage, not mindless detail. Based on the author?s sold-out live seminars, you?ll see Python?s flexible coding technique in action as we refactor from script to procedural to object-oriented during actual problem solving.
In a twelve-lesson progression, you?ll be exposed to this and more:

<li>Basic file input and output operations, incuding exceptions
<li>Using functions to compute and returnÿ multiple values
<li>Basic elements of a class definition and how to call methods
<li>Lists, dictionaries, sets, and other collections
<li>Iteration through collections, files, sorted sets
<li>Searching strings with regular expressions (regex)
<li>Client and server programs forÿREST methods
<li>Using threadsÿin Python for multiple tasks
<li>CGI-BIN programmingÿfor simple HTML Forms processing
<li>Six most common Python pitfalls

Take the One Hour challenge and see if you too can pick up 90% of syntax and semantics in less time than you probably spend commuting each day.
