This book is written with the programming beginner in mind. The book is designed to get you up to speed with Python as quickly as possible. It covers everything you need to know to become proficient in Python. The book begins with the simplest programming concepts and builds with each chapter. Working examples have been carefully selected to demonstrate the concept being explored. There is an explanation for every line of code, so you are never left in the dark. Once you have mastered the key concepts of the language, you will be presented with some of the most important use cases for Python. For experienced programmers, you will learn how to use Python to manage files on your computer, connect to and query relational databases and how to script cloud architecture on Amazon Web services (AWS).
The best way to get the most out of this book is to play around with the examples. Try to rewrite them from memory. Once you can write them, you are ready for Python in business. Remember to ignore line numbers in the examples. The line numbers were manually inserted as annotations to help describe the Python scripts.
