Python Programming Language For Beginners: A Modern Approach

Book Description

Python is a general-purpose interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, and high-level programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum during 1985- 1990. Like Perl, Python source code is also available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). This book gives enough understanding on Python programming language.

Why to Learn Python?
Python is a high-level, interpreted, interactive and object-oriented scripting language. Python is designed to be highly readable. It uses English keywords frequently where as other languages use punctuation, and it has fewer syntactical constructions than other languages.
Python is a MUST for students and working professionals to become a great Software Engineer specially when they are working in Web Development Domain. I will list down some of the key advantages of learning Python:

• Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do not need to compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL and PHP.
• Python is Interactive − You can actually sit at a Python prompt and interact with the interpreter directly to write your programs.
• Python is Object-Oriented − Python supports Object-Oriented style or technique of programming that encapsulates code within objects.
• Python is a Beginner’s Language − Python is a great language for the beginner-level programmers and supports the development of a wide range of applications from simple text processing to WWW browsers to games.

书名：面向初学者的Python编程语言：一种现代方法

Python是一种通用的解释、交互、面向对象和高级编程语言。它是由Guido van Rossum在1985-1990年间创建的。与Perl一样，也可以在GNU通用公共许可证(GPL)下获得Python源代码。这本书对Python编程语言有足够的理解。

为什么要学习Python？
Python是一种高级的、解释性的、交互式的、面向对象的脚本语言。Python被设计为具有高度可读性。在其他语言使用标点符号的地方，它经常使用英语关键字，而且它的句法结构比其他语言少。
对于学生和在职专业人员来说，要想成为一名优秀的软件工程师，特别是当他们在Web开发领域工作时，必须使用Python。我将列出学习Python的一些主要优势：

• 解释−在运行时由解释器处理。在执行程序之前，您不需要编译它。这类似于Perl和PHP。
• PYTHON是交互式−，您实际上可以在PYTHON提示符下直接与解释器交互来编写程序。
• 是面向对象的−，支持将代码封装在对象中的面向对象风格或编程技术。
• −是初学者的语言，对于初级程序员来说，它是一种很棒的语言，支持从简单的文本处理到万维网浏览器到游戏的各种应用程序的开发。
