Written for developers with a background in any high-level language, Introduction to Python and Data Science for Programmers explores the Python language and Python APIs in depth, applying the Deitels’ signature live-code approach to teaching programming. Paul Deitel and Dr. Harvey M. Deitel present concepts in the context of fully tested programs, complete with syntax shading, code highlighting, line-by-line code walkthroughs, and program outputs. They feature hundreds of complete Python programs with nearly 20,000 lines of proven Python code, and hundreds of tips to help you build robust applications. You’ll start with an introduction to Python using an early classes and objects approach, and then rapidly move on to more advanced topics.
Throughout, you’ll enjoy the Deitels' classic treatment of object-oriented programming. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have everything you need to build industrial-strength Python applications.
The DEITEL® Developer Series is designed for practicing programmers. The series presents focused treatments of modern technologies, including Python, Java™, C++, .NET, web services, Internet and web development, and more.
