eBook Description:

Python Fundamentals: With an interesting mix of theory and practicals, explore Python and its features, and progress from beginner to being skilled in this popular scripting language

After a brief history of Python and key differences between Python 2 and Python 3, with Python Fundamentals you’ll understand how Python has been used in applications such as YouTube and Google App Engine. As you work with the language, you’ll learn about control statements, delve into controlling program flow and gradually work on more structured programs via functions.

As you settle into the Python ecosystem, you’ll learn about data structures and study ways to correctly store and represent information. By working through specific examples, you’ll learn how Python implements object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts of abstraction, encapsulation of data, inheritance, and polymorphism. You’ll be given an overview of how imports, modules, and packages work in Python, how you can handle errors to prevent apps from crashing, as well as file manipulation.

By the end of this book, you’ll have built up an impressive portfolio of projects and armed yourself with the skills you need to tackle Python projects in the real world.
