The Hitchhikers Guide to Python: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Hitchhikers Guide to Python" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Hitchhikers Guide to Python takes the journeyman Pythonista to true expertise. More than any other language, Python was created with the philosophy of simplicity and parsimony. Now 25 years old, Python has become the primary or secondary language (after SQL) for many business users. With popularity comes diversityand possibly dilution.

This guide, collaboratively written by over a hundred members of the Python community, describes best practices currently used by package and application developers. Unlike other books for this audience, The Hitchhikers Guide is light on reusable code and heavier on design philosophy, directing the reader to excellent sources that already exist.

Dedication

Dedicated to you

Preface

Python is big. Really big. You just wont believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is.

This guide is not intended to teach you the Python language (we cite lots of great resources that do that) but is rather an (opinionated) insiders guide to our communitys favorite tools and best practices. The primary audience is new to mid-level Python programmers who are interested in contributing to open source or in beginning a career or starting a company using Python, although casual Python users should also find helpful.

The first part will help you choose the text editor or interactive development environment that fits your situation (for example, those using Java frequently may prefer Eclipse with a Python plug-in) and surveys options for other interpreters that may meet needs you dont yet know Python could address (e.g., theres a MicroPython implementation based around the ARM Cortex-M4 chip). The second section demonstrates Pythonic style by highlighting exemplary code in the open source community that will hopefully encourage more in-depth reading and experimentation with open source code. The final section briefly surveys the vast galaxy of libraries most commonly used in the Python communityproviding an idea of the scope of what Python can do right now.

All of the royalties from the print version of this book will be directly donated to the Django Girls, a giddily joyous global organization dedicated to organizing free Django and Python workshops, creating open-sourced online tutorials, and curating amazing first experiences with technology. Those who wish to contribute to the online version can read more about how to do it at our website.
