| Summary |
Phython how-to uses a simple but powerful method to lock in 63 core Python skills. You'll start with a question, like "How do I find items in a sequence?" Next, you'll see an example showing the basic solution in crystal-clear code. You'll then explore interesting variations, such as finding substrings or identifying custom classes. Finally, you'll practice with a challenge exercise before moving on to the next How-To. This practical guide covers all the language features you'll need to get up and running with Python. As you go, you'll explore best practices for writing great Python code. Practical suggestions and engaging graphics make each important technique come to life. Author Yong Cui's careful cross-referencing reveals how you can reuse features and concepts in different contexts. |
