Summary:
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

online guide, Instant Python Hacking, on which both books are
