Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional is the most comprehensive book on
the Python ever written. Based on Practical Python, this newly revised book is
both an introduction and practical reference for a swath of Python-related
programming topics, including addressing language internals, database
integration, network programming, and web services. Advanced topics, such as
extending Python and packaging/distributing Python applications, are also
covered.

Ten different projects illustrate the concepts introduced in the book. You will
learn how to create a P2P file-sharing application and a web-based bulletin
board, and how to remotely edit web-based documents and create games. Author
Magnus Lie Hetland is an authority on Python and previously authored Practical
Python. He also authored the popular online guide, Instant Python Hacking, on
which both books are based.

This book is very useful for novices and intermediate programmers, with limited
utility for experts. I started out as a relative novice, and found it to be very
useful. At the end of each chapter it reviews the functions introduced in the
chapter and makes a quick summary of what was covered in the chapter, making it
easier for someone with some previous programming experience and who has a vague
idea of python syntax to just skim off what they need for the first few
chapters, and makes a nice review for someone who was learning the content of
the chapter for the first time. The book progresses in a logical manner -
starting out with basic stuff like variables of various kinds input and output,
before going to more complex stuff. More or less, it covers all the OO,
networking and GUI stuff, and then a bit more, going over things like making
extensions to Python and web development. It contains a good amount of example
code, and various projects. After reading it, I feel more comfortable with the
language. I would recommend this book to any novice or intermediate programmer,
and if you can get your hands on a copy for cheap, it would also help a
competent programmer in other languages pick up python quickly. All in all, a
good book to have around.
