Product Description
Using Python to Get Thing Done is a task-oriented book that teaches the developer how to use Python to accomplish real-world tasks in an efficient manner. It is not intended to be language centric book, but project based meeting a unmet need in the market for hands-on Python implementation. This book provides code that is not simplistic and trivial, but scripts that are of actual, immediate use. Similar to language books, Using Python to Get Things Done focuses on what the programmers need to know to actually use Python on daily basis to accomplish real tasks, it is not an exhaustive description of the language. The book will include a brief primer or refresher, and then guide the reader through the creation of robust, real-world examples and scripts that will be of immediate use, and show the reader how to use Python to create real solutions to real challenges they may face.
Back Cover Copy
Python: Create-Modify-Reuse
Aimed at all levels of Python developers who are interested in a task-based way of learning Python development, this hands-on book shows how you can efficiently use Python to create robust, real-world applications. After a brief primer on this object-oriented, interactive programming language, you will jump right into practical Python development so that you can create useful, streamlined scripts that are easy to maintain and enhance, and that you can immediately put to use in the real world.
Each chapter features a complete project that you can use as it currently exists or modify to suit your particular purposes. Among these projects you'll find applications that access databases, take advantage of web technologies, facilitate network communications, and more. Plus, you'll also explore more advanced topics such as accessing operating system resources, writing scripts that are easy to read and maintain, and debugging and testing. However, even more important than the technologies you will be introduced to, you will learn how to use Python to solve real challenges.
What you will learn from this book -
The various technologies and techniques that are available to Python developers -
Ways to communicate with an SQL database -
Tips for acting as a web server or communicating with one -
