Book Description

This book is written by Dr. (h.c.) Khaleel Ahmed H. M. who has been in the IT industry since early 1990s. Based out of Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India, Dr. Khaleel has conducted training programs on a variety of technologies from operating systems inclusive of UNIX, Linux, Windows, OS2 to name a few. He has conducted training programs on programming languages inclusive of C, C++, Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk apart from others. He has conducted training programs on databases inclusive of Oracle, Sybase, DB2, MySQL, MS SQL Server apart from others. He was the only trainer outside America to conduct the Cisco IOS Bootcamp between 2011 & 2017. Some of the Fortune 500 companies where he has conducted Python training programs include IBM, Cisco, Huawei, Intel, Deloitte, Siemens, Nomura, Ericsson Global, ANZ, HCL, Wall Mart Labs, Sasken Technologies, Fidelity, Wells Fargo, Philips Innovation, Fujitsu & Carl Zeiss.
First of all, this book focusses on breaking the mental blocks to make sure the learner, with an open mind, is able to understand all the concepts. The book focuses on making sure the absolute fundamentals of Python which every Python developer needs, are introduced in a semitechnical language to make sure the learner not only finds Python easy but also finds programming as a whole very easy.
The code examples in the book are kept small & simple encouraging the learner to try out the code examples.
The book is spread over 9 chapters. The 9 chapters are as follows:

书名：Taming Python: All You need to know to be comfortable writing Python Scripts

这本书是(h.c.)博士写的。Khaleel Ahmed H.M.自20世纪90年代初以来一直在IT行业工作。总部设在印度硅谷的班加罗尔，Khaleel博士开展了各种技术的培训项目，其中包括Unix、Linux、Windows、OS2等操作系统。他主持过C、C++、Perl、Python、TCL/Tk等编程语言的培训项目。他曾在Oracle、Sybase、DB2、MySQL、MS SQL Server等数据库上进行过培训。他是美国以外唯一一位在2011年和2017年间举办Cisco iOS训练营的培训师。他曾指导过《财富》500强企业的Python培训项目，其中包括IBM、思科、华为、英特尔、德勤、西门子、野村证券、爱立信全球、澳新银行、HCL、沃尔玛实验室、萨斯肯科技、富达、富国银行、飞利浦创新、富士通和卡尔·蔡司。
首先，这本书专注于打破心理障碍，以确保学习者能够以开放的心态理解所有的概念。这本书的重点是确保以半技术语言介绍每个Python开发人员所需的Python的绝对基础知识，以确保学习者不仅发现Python很容易，而且发现编程作为一个整体非常容易。
书中的代码示例保持小巧和简单，鼓励学习者尝试代码示例。
这本书共分9章。共9章内容如下：
