Introduction

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book , PYTHON: The Complete Python Quickstart Guide For Beginne rs .

This book contains proven steps and strategies on learning Python Programming quickly.

Unlike other programming language, Python emphasizes on the readability of codes. It uses a precise syntax that enables programmers, beginners and experts alike, to write fewer codes in coming up with the functions for a desired program. The best thing about Python is its universality: you can code an application using one platform but still be able to run it using other platforms. This is unlike other programming languages that promise platform independence but still manages to fall short of expectations.

The Complete Python Quickstart Guide for Beginners is all about providing you with all the necessary basics of Python. Everything that you must know in order to become productive in your line of work is in this book. Examples provided in this book are specific and relevant that you may encounter them in the ordinary course of performing your jobs.

A crash course on Python will only give you the framework of the language but will never make you appreciate the beauty of the language as much as Python Programming for Beginners will.

If you are still thinking twice about learning Python, perhaps what will convince you is a list of organizations using Python as part of their programming: (a) Alice Education Software, (b) Fermilab, (c) Go.com, (d) Google, (e) National Space and Aeronautics Administration, (f) New York Stock Exchange, (g) ObjectDomain, (h) Redhat, (i) Yahoo! and (j) Youtube.

This book will be your guide in anything and everything Python such that by the time you put down this book, you will be confident in performing tasks that require Python programming!

Thanks again for downloading this book. I hope you enjoy it!


Chapter 1. Understanding Python

There are many programming languages being used today, so much so that it would be near-impossible to learn about every single one. It's easy to think that programmers would be contented with all the languages available to communicate with the computer but the truth is, new languages are born every year.

Creating a new programming language isn't just out of whim. Programmers create a new one for a good reason. Each programming language specializes on specific functions. Also as computer hardware evolves, so does computer software and thus, codes and programming language. In order to keep up with this continuous evolution, programmers create a new language that will streamline the communication between hardware and software. For instance, in achieving a more appropriately-designed interface, some programmers build a different computer language after acknowledging the limitations of the ones that are available.

There are certain functions that Python excels in so it is important for you to know what these functions are. Part of getting acquainted with a programming language is learning about its strengths and weaknesses.

Reasons for Using Python

Programming languages are constructed by programmers for specific reasons. The goals they have in mind help shape the language and determine the flexibility and usability of the language. Python was created with the objective to create a language that can be used by programmers in creating codes that are productive and efficient.

Here are the reasons you will want to use Python when coding an application:

(a) Less Development Time

Compared to other similar programming language like Java and C/C++, codes used in Python are 5 to 10 times shorter. This makes Python less complicated but more efficient. It also means that you spend less time and effort in developing your application and more time toying with it.

(b) Less Learning Time

The main goal of the makers of Python is to create a language that has fewer unusual rules which make it hard for beginners to learn a language. This will help programmers create more usable applications that they can't do with more complicated and obscure language.

(c) Ease of reading

When checking for errors or bugs, it is important that the language is easier to read and understand. It is hard to code and check a program code, if language is too complicated. Python codes are easier to write and read than any other languages available today. This will make it easier for you to interpret the code and make necessary changes.

Also, here are suggested specific uses for Python:

(a) Scripting browser-based applications

(b) Creating better user interfaces

(c) Creating rough application examples

(d) Working with XML

(e) Designing scientific, mathematic and engineering applications

(f) Interacting with databases

Python versus Other Programming Language

Sometimes, comparing a programming language to other languages can be very subjective. The difference is usually a matter of personal preference but there are times that the comparison can be supported by quantifiable scientific data.

Before you read this section, it is important to note that there is no best all-encompassing language in the world. All you have to do is find a language that works best for a specific function or goal in mind.

(1) C#

There are claims that the people behind Microsoft simply replicated Java in creating C#. Be that as it may, C# has upsides and downsides compared to Java. According to Microsoft, their main goal in creating C# is to create a better version of C/C++. When pitted against C#, Python enjoys the following advantages:

(a) Better engineering and scientific applications

(b) More extendable when using C/C++ and Java
