Description
Are you a programmer who wants to get started quickly in a new language? This book is for you.
Are you a novice who wants to learn to program? This book is not for you.
Are you a Python programmer who needs encyclopaedic information? This book is not for you.
Like any mainstream language, Python has loops, if statements, assignment statements, functions, etc. Iβll show you what these look like in Python. I wonβt waste your time telling you what theyβre good for.
Python has features you may not be familiar withβiterators, list comprehensions, maybe even dictionaries. Iβll spend more time on these.
Iβll cover some of the library functions I found most immediately useful, and tell you where to find more.
In short, Quick Python 3 will help you hit the ground running. Next week, youβll be ready to buy that Python encyclopaedia.
