Learning Python: Powerful Object-Oriented Programming (4th Edition)

Google and YouTube use Python simply because it's hugely adaptable, effortless to take care of, and allows fast improvement. so that you can write top quality, effective code that's simply built-in with different languages and instruments, this hands-on e-book may help you be efficient with Python quick -- even if you're new to programming or simply new to Python.

Real Python: An Introduction to Python Through Practical Examples

An ebook to educate programming via hands-on, fascinating examples which are invaluable and fun!

Python is a smart programming language. It's loose, robust, more uncomplicated to learn than so much languages, and has extensions to be had to do virtually whatever you'll think automatically.

But how do you certainly use it? There are hundreds assets in the market for studying Python, yet none of them are very functional or attention-grabbing - as a substitute, they pass over every one thought one after the other, by no means tying whatever jointly, yet spending lots of time misplaced in technical language, discussing the twenty other ways to complete each one easy activity. ..

I are looking to write an ebook that eventually provides a concise creation to every little thing it's possible you'll really are looking to do with Python.

We'll begin with a short yet thorough assessment of the entire fundamentals, so that you don't even want any earlier event with programming. however the majority of the booklet might be spent build up instance code to resolve fascinating real-world problems.

Python is astounding for automating repetitive initiatives that would another way take you hours - for example, speedy accumulating info from the internet, or renaming thousands of records. a few of the issues that I'm making plans to cover:

Collecting facts from webpages (web scraping)
Interacting with PDF documents - examining facts, developing PDFs, editing pages, including passwords. ..
Interacting with Excel documents (less performance in OS X)
Calling different outdoors courses from inside of Python
Files - read/write/modify, unzip, rename, circulate, etc.
Basic online game development
Interacting with SQL databases (internal and ODBC connections)
GUI (Graphical person Interface) layout - developing basic point-and-click courses that anybody can use
Any different issues that you just, my backers, are so much in!
Update: via renowned call for, I'll be including internet program development

Sample text

Add a unitconvertor to a

element with an ID #first. 2. Add the possibility of converting from cubic feet to liters to the default conversion map. 3. And finally, add a unitconverter to a

element with an id #last. unitconverter(); [ 50 ] Creating a Simple Spreadsheet What just happened? The spreadsheet application served to the end user consists of two major parts, HTML to structure the spreadsheet and some JavaScript to provide interaction. We look at each of these in turn. HTML: keeping it simple The HTML we need for our spreadsheet is nearly identical to the one for the unit converter.

Next, it retrieves the currently selected units from both element. The content we retrieve of any element is always returned as a string, therefore we have to use the built-in JavaScript function parseFloat() to interpret it as a floating point number.

We have to store the result in global variables with the name of the cell as well to make it reusable by other cells. Note that these global variables are just attributes of the window object in the context of the browser so assigning a value to such an attribute is just what we do inside the if … else … clause.
