Python: a modern language for a modern world!
Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world—consistently ranking at the top of the TIOBE programming community index. Its popularity is no surprise: Python is easy to learn, elegant, and powerful. It offers many possibilities and is used in popular technologies like the Raspberry Pi and computer games like Minecraft. In addition, Python is the ideal introduction to the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
This award-winning comprehensive Python compendium familiarizes you with basic and advanced techniques so that you have a good foundation for your professional Python projects. Whether you are just starting out with Python or already have programming experience, you will find that this book provides the knowledge you need to properly apply the concepts and tools of Python 3 in your day-to-day work.
This book introduces Python systematically: you’ll begin by creating simple programs and then gradually progress to working with complex language elements and advanced programming techniques.
The focus is on practice: with this book, you’ll quickly learn how to develop your own Python programs. If you’re working with older Python projects, you’ll learn how to make them run under Python 3 using tips for migrating from Python 2.x to Python 3.
