Kick-start your development journey with this end-to-end guide that covers Python programming fundamentals along with application development Key Features Gain a solid understanding of Python programming with coverage of data structures and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Design graphical user interfaces for desktops with libraries such as Kivy and Tkinter Write elegant, reusable, and efficient code Book DescriptionPython is a cross-platform language used by organizations such as Google and NASA. It lets you work quickly and efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on your work rather than the language. Based on his personal experiences when learning to program, Learn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson provides a hands-on introduction to computer programming utilizing one of the most readable programming languages-Python. It aims to educate readers regarding software development as well as help experienced developers become familiar with the Python language, utilizing real-world lessons to help readers understand programming concepts quickly and easily. The book starts with the basics of programming, and describes Python syntax while developing the skills to make complete programs. In the first part of the book, readers will be going through all the concepts with short and easy-to-understand code samples that will prepare them for the comprehensive application built in parts 2 and 3. The second part of the book will explore topics such as application requirements, building the application, testing, and documentation. It is here that you will get a solid understanding of building an end-to-end application in Python. The next part will show you how to complete your applications by converting text-based simulation into an interactive, graphical user interface, using a desktop GUI framework. After reading the book, you will be confident in developing a complete application in Python, from program design to documentation to deployment. What you will learn Use the interactive shell for prototyping and code execution, including variable assignment Deal with program errors by learning when to manually throw exceptions Employ exceptions for code management Enhance code by utilizing Python's built-in shortcuts to improve efficiency and make coding easier Interact with files and package Python data for network transfer or storage Understand how tests drive code writing, and vice versa Explore the different frameworks that are available for GUI development Who this book is forLearn Programming in Python with Cody Jackson is for beginners or novice programmers who have no programming background and wish to take their first step in software development. This book will also be beneficial for intermediate programmers and will provide deeper insights into effective coding practices in Python.

Test your Python programming skills by solving real-world problems Key Features Access built-in documentation tools and improve your code. Discover how to make the best use of decorator and generator functions Enhance speed and improve concurrency by conjuring tricks from the PyPy project Book DescriptionThis book covers the unexplored secrets of Python, delve into its depths, and uncover its mysteries. You'll unearth secrets related to the implementation of the standard library, by looking at how modules actually work. You'll understand the implementation of collections, decimals, and fraction modules. If you haven't used decorators, coroutines, and generator functions much before, as you make your way through the recipes, you'll learn what you've been missing out on. We'll cover internal special methods in detail, so you understand what they are and how they can be used to improve the engineering decisions you make. Next, you'll explore the CPython interpreter, which is a treasure trove of secret hacks that not many programmers are aware of. We'll take you through the depths of the PyPy project, where you'll come across several exciting ways that you can improve speed and concurrency. Finally, we'll take time to explore the PEPs of the latest versions to discover some interesting hacks. What you will learn Know the differences between .py and .pyc files Explore the different ways to install and upgrade Python packages Understand the working of the PyPI module that enhances built-in decorators See how coroutines are different from generators and how they can simulate multithreading Grasp how the decimal module improves floating point numbers and their operations Standardize sub interpreters to improve concurrency Discover Python's built-in docstring analyzer Who this book is forWhether you've been working with Python for a few years or you're a seasoned programmer, you'll have a lot of new tricks to walk away with.

This books teaches fundamental programming concepts using the powerful, yet easy to learn, Python programming language. Python is a cross-platform language used by organizations such as Google and NASA, designed for rapid application prototyping and development. Used by itself or with other languages, Python allows the developer to quickly and efficiently write programs without getting in the way. This book provides the reader with basic programming ideas, applicable to a wide range of tasks and can be used with other languages. After completing this book, the reader should be able to quickly create simple to moderately complex programs and have a foundation for further study. Topics include: core Python language (both versions 2.x and 3.x), object-oriented programming, databases, graphical user interfaces, web programming, and simple game development.

The lands of Vrbonc barely returned to their quiet nature when an evil influence, once thought to have been destroyed in the Great War, made its presence known. Bandits roam the roads and monsters have been spotted in the shadowy woods, while slavers ply their trade with impunity. Someone, or something, is returning to power. Reginald learned that his brother disappeared from a caravan near the small town of Haemal. Reginald must turn to his friends, both old and new, to help him locate his brother. Their arrival in Haemal leads to heartache and few leads, but shows Reginald his true calling: a warrior for the people. But can his new-found courage save his brother before it is too late?"

An introduction to computer programming, using the easy, yet powerful, Python programming language. Python, a cross-platform language used by such organizations as Google and NASA, lets you work quickly and efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on your work rather than the language.
