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.

Coverage of the "with" statement, which seems to be the most arcane and confusing feature of python, is (as far as I can make out) confined to a single example in chapter 8, which is introduced out of the blue, without any comment in the text - and isn't even referred to in the index.

Vengono trattati molti argomenti in modo preciso, a volte troppo sinteticamente considerando la profondità della trattazione.Certe considerazioni personali dell'autore rendono la lettura un po' spiacevole a tratti.Assente il classico humour da informatico o meglio, da pythonista. Presenti invece solleciti scoraggianti.L'autore inoltre sembrerebbe essere un gran cultore del sé: presenti numerosissime frasi che iniziano con "I did... I printed.." che dovrebbero assolutamente essere sottoforma di "We.." se non "You" per rendere gli argomenti meno riguardo la sua esperienza e più invece riguardo al lavoro che uno fa studiando da questo libro.Riassumendo:4* per materiale didattico di buona qualità2.5* per lettura non delle più piacevoliPer il resto, libro consegnato in perfette condizioni, stampa perfetta.

This is a reasonable book for intermediate python learners. As others have said, if Python is your first language and you are a beginner (< 1year coding), I would skip this book. This book is reasonable for covering the intermediate topics after basic data structures (list, dictionary, set, tuple, array, tuple unpacking, list comprehension) and basic control flow, function and class. I picked up this books for more in-depth help with collections, maps, filter, enumerate, generator, decorator, debugging, testing, profiling, web scraping, etc. Some topics are reasonable for this, but some topics are too sparse and there's not enough there. Book has many pages but the formatting is off so many pages only have 1 -3 lines of text. So the content look bigger than it is. Still, there are not that many reasonably good book for the intermediate user, so I gave it 4 stars.Book has an issue with code text becoming too small or faint (on print version), sometimes making it difficult to read. I got the kindle version. If your screen resolution is high, body text will be a good size but the code text will be tiny. You can adjust zoom or downsize monitor resolution. Print version, can't fix the faint code text, but you can download the whole code files from URL provided by the author (front first pages). More importantly, you can view the code online on a screen as you type them to your Python terminal. Hope that helps.
