Product Description

Python is a new and innovative scripting language. It is set to replace Perl as the programming language of choice for shell scripters, and for serious application developers who want a feature-rich, yet simple language to deploy their products. Dive Into Python is a hands-on guide to the Python language. Each chapter starts with a real, complete code sample, proceeds to pick it apart and explain the pieces, and then puts it all back together in a summary at the end. This is the perfect resource for you if you like to jump into languages fast and get going right away. If you're just starting to learn Python, first pick up a copy of Magnus Lie Hetland's Practical Python.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars python made simple...but not too simple, 12 Nov 2004

By	Stephen Hampshire (Huddersfield, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is perfectly aimed at people who have some experience of programming. It takes for granted that you are familiar with basic concepts of programming in general and object-oriented programming in particular, and gets on with telling you how Python works.

The structure is very hands-on - showing you how to accomplish particular tasks in a very fast, but clear, way.

What I found was that this book finally persuaded me as to Python's strengths.

On top of that it's very readable, and well supported by useful examples that are readily applicable to real world problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars great Python kickstart, 6 Sep 2006

By	Bert Heymans (Belgium) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You might call Dive Into Python a "learn by recipe" book. Each chapter starts off with an example and goes on by explaining what makes the example work. It's not a cookbook but each of the examples actually does something useful, that's something that made me go back to the book after reading it.

Python language basics are definitely covered but the book assumes the reader knows how to program. The book is sprinkled with helpful references to other languages like Java, C++, Perl, ... where appropriate. The writing style is fresh and entertaining. Lovely read, combine it with the Python tutorial and the on-line Python documentation and you're good to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners, sure, but great otherwise, 19 May 2009

By	David Talbot (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The product description for this book actually mentions that this book isn't for beginners - please bear this in mind. Coming from a background of more procedural programming in web scripting languages I quickly learned how much more 'in-depth' Python is - it wasn't easy to begin with. But after some patience and practice, the end result of following the book through was to give me a really solid grounding in Python. It makes it much easier for me to begin the next step (building a Django website).
I found this book an invaluable way to get to grips with Python.

3.0 out of 5 stars it is nothing for beginners
This book is definitely not for beginners to computing. That's all I can say as I stop reading it after reading the first few chapters.
