Whether you’re an experienced programmer looking to get into Python or grizzled Python veteran who remembers the days when you had to import the string module, <i>Dive Into Python</i> is your ‘desert island’ Python book. As a complete newbie to the language…I constantly had those little thoughts like, ‘this is the way a programming language should be taught. Apress has been profuse in both its quantity and quality of releases&emdash;and (this book is) surely worth adding to your technical reading budget for skills development. I am reading this … because the language seems like a good way to accomplish programming tasks that don’t require the low-level bit handling power of C.</a></p> </blockquote> <p id=”quoteAuthor”>— Richard Bejtlich, TaoSecurity</p></div>
<p>Python is a new and innovative scripting language. It is set to replace Perl as the programming language of choice for shell scripters, and for serious application developers who want a feature-rich, yet simple language to deploy their products.
<p><i>Dive Into Python</i> is a hands-on guide to the Python language. Each chapter starts with a real, complete code sample, proceeds to pick it apart and explain the pieces, and then puts it all back together in a summary at the end. <p>
<p>This is the perfect resource for you if you like to jump into languages fast and get going right away.
