Product Description

Product Description
Perl to Python Migration provides a useful and practical resource for programmers that are currently intermediate or expert in using Perl and who want to migrate to using Python for different programming projects. The book achieves this by first giving the user an overview and refresher of the Perl techniques required before giving the information on using Python to achieve the same result. Examples of both Python and Perl will be available on-line on the author's website.

From the Back Cover
 Perl to Python Migration  Martin C Brown    Are you a Perl programmer who would like to be able to programme in Python?  Brimming with a wealth of practical examples and resources this book will show  you how.    The Book  The first section will show you the basic layout and  approach of the two languages whilst the second section moves on to the specific  differences of using Python data types and objects over Perl variables.  The book then moves on to look at the core technologies behind the Python language,  including the exception system for handling errors, the class and object orientation  system for creating new classes and instances and how to split your program into  functions and modules for easier management. All of these basics are treated with  respect to people’s existing understanding and skills in Perl programming and how  they can be leveraged in Python.  The last section of the book then looks at specific areas of programming, data  manipulation, network communicated, web programming and others to  demonstrate to the reader how to make the move from Perl programming to  Python programming.

 Skills you will learn
    • Introduction to Python
    • How to Execute Python Programs
    • Understanding the objects and statements in Python
    • How to migrate your Perl functions to Python
    • All about Python Modules, Classes and Object Orientation
    • Interfacing with the Operating system
    • Data Manipulation
    • File manipulation
    • Network communication
    • Web development
    • GUI (Tk) deployment
     About the author  Martin C. Brown has been a programmer and systems manager for eleven years for a  variety of organizations, including a university, an ISP, and an advertising agency.  He specializes in making computers easier to use and more accessible to people who  are not computer literate and in integrating different platforms into the same  environment. A full-time author, he spends most of his time writing programming  books, despite spending the bulk of his life trying to avoid getting sucked too far into  the programming world. Martin is the author of eleven other books, including both the Perl and Python Complete Reference titles and Debugging Perl.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better., 11 Oct 2002
    Despite initial appearances, Perl and Python are surprisingly similar and this book aims to help ease a programmer's transition between the two languages. Although the emphasis is the `Pythonism' of Perl idioms, the book could also be of use to those programmers who are moving to Perl from a Python background.

    Experienced programmers can probably skip the first section, but the discussion of classes, methods and objects is worth reading, particularly if you either aren't used to object orientated programming or are unfamiliar with Perl's OO capabilities.

    The third section of the book, Applying Python, is the meat of the book and basically lists a set of Python functions, their Perl equivalents plus a short example in either language. Perl's multitudinous internal variables are also listed with their Python counterparts. The usual subjects are covered: network programming, CGI in Python etc., and there's a short, but useful, section which compares Perl/Tk and TkInter - given the dearth of
    printed material on TkInter, GUI programmers will find this interesting.

    Given that Perl and Python are, ostensibly, platform-independent languages I would have expected rather better coverage of Python and Perl on non-Unix systems. Apart from this minor niggle, this book represents a useful investment for both Perl and Python programmers.
