Python for Developers (eBook)

Master python programming language in easy steps Key Featuresa- Start from basics of Python Control statement, loop structure, break, continue, and pass statement a- Detailed description of Python data types: string, tuple, list, and dictionary with the help of examplea- Organizing code using function, modules, and packagesa- Saving text and complex data in text, pickle, and JSON filesa- Learn the use of time and time zonesa- Parallel execution with the help of threading, multiprocessing, and subprocessinga- Helpful modules for industryDescriptionIt is said that learning Python is easy, but if a learner did not get the right path, then things can get complicated. This book is designed in such a way that you start from basics, followed by advance levels and then move on to some industry-related modules. The initial chapters are written in a simple manner; some chapters are of advance level. Start from the data structure of Python, such as string, list, tuple, and dictionary. The function and module chapter will let you know how to organize a large code. The built-in functions and modules like collections will give you greater flexibility to write efficient codes. The "e;time"e; chapter is very important when we deal with time-related things. The mid-chapter contains the advance chapters such as regular expressions, interaction with OS, and multithreading. These chapters are helpful when we want to search the pattern, run the OS commands, and execute the program in parallel. The last chapters are specially designed from an industry point of view. In order to ensure a high quality of code, we use config-parser to avoid hard-coding and logger to log the events. In the multiprocessing and subprocess chapter, you will learn creation, execution, and communication between the processes. What will you learnPython for developers is created by taking beginner and intermediate programmers. The book starts from scratch and takes you to the advanced level. After learning advance levels, you will learn parallel programming using multithreading, multiprocessing, and sub-processing. The book will provide information on modules which will be helpful form industry perspective. The book also contains the question for the preparation of the interview. You will also learn the difference between Python 2.7 and Python 3.7. Some of the chapters include an advance part, which will give an in-depth knowledge of the chapters. Who this book is forThis book is for whoever wants to learn Python and aspires to become a developer or work on projects. Beginners can read this book easily; however, a little knowledge about the programming concepts would be helpful. Basic knowledge of computers would suffice.Table of Contents1.
