Supercharged Python: Take Your Code to the Next Level

According to Stack Overflow, Python has a solid claim to being the fastest-growing major programming language. (Due in some measure to the rich set of machine learning and data science libraries and frameworks available to Python coders.)

O knihe

Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming, created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. An interpreted language, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability (notably using whitespace indentation to delimit code blocks rather than curly brackets or keywords), and a syntax that allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than might be used in languages such as C++ or Java. It provides constructs that enable clear programming on both small and large scales.

Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and many of its features support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming. Rather than having all of its functionality built into its core, Python was designed to be highly extensible.

This text is intended for a second course on Python, to enable students who have a basic understanding of Python to take their programming skills to the next level. Areas covered include: writing for run-time efficiency; lambda functions and when to use them; versioning issues; understanding Unicode and localization; regular expressions; binary operators and how to use them; converting between radixes; complete rules for every aspect of data formatting; creating, building, and importing packages; using the Django web-development package; graphics programming; fine points of object orientation with "magic methods”; and reading and writing binary files.
