Learn Python in One Hour: Programming by Example, 2nd Edition
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, Learn Python in One Hour delivers 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
  • Exception handling with try/except
  • Using functions to compute and return 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
  • Converting lists to strings and vice-versa
  • 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.
