Python: Visual QuickStart Guide · 3rd Edition

Python is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language used in a wide
variety of situations such as Web, database access, desktop GUIs, game and
software development, and network programming. Fans of Python use the phrase
"batteries included" to describe the standard library, which covers everything
from asynchronous processing to zip files. The language itself is a flexible
powerhouse that can handle practically any application domain.
This task-based tutorial on Python is for those new to the language and walks
you through the fundamentals. You'll learn about arithmetic, strings, and
variables; writing programs; flow of control, functions; strings; data
structures; input and output; and exception handling. At the end of the book,
a special section walks you through a longer, realistic application, tying the
concepts of the book together.
