You?re already a smart person, you don?t need a 1000+ page book to get you started on the web?s fastest growing programming platform. Instead,ÿLearn Python in One Hourÿdelivers on the promise of code literacy while saving your most precious commodity ? time itself. Volkman?s innovative programming-by-example approach means you focus on usage, not mindless detail. Based on the author?s sold-out live seminars, you?ll see Python?s flexible coding technique in action as we refactor from script to procedural to object-oriented during actual problem solving. In a twelve-lesson progression, you?ll be exposed to this and more: Basic file input and output operations, incuding exceptions Using functions to compute and returnÿ multiple values Basic elements of a class definition and how to call methods Lists, dictionaries, sets, and other collections Iteration through collections, files, sorted sets Searching strings with regular expressions (regex) Client and server programs forÿREST methods Using threadsÿin Python for multiple tasks CGI-BIN programmingÿfor simple HTML Forms processing Six most common Python pitfalls Take the One Hour challenge and see if you too can pick up 90% of syntax and semantics in less time than you probably spend commuting each day.
