If you've mastered Python's fundamentals, you're ready to start using it to get real work done. Programming Python will show you how, with in-depth tutorials on the language's primary application domains: system administration, GUIs, and the Web. You'll also explore how Python is used in databases, networking, front-end scripting layers, text processing, and more. This book focuses on commonly used tools and libraries to give you a comprehensive understanding of Python’s many roles in practical, real-world programming.

You'll learn language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise manner, with lots of examples that illustrate both correct usage and common idioms. Completely updated for version 3.x, Programming Python also delves into the language as a software development tool, with many code examples scaled specifically for that purpose.

  • Quick Python tour: Build a simple demo that includes data representation, object-oriented programming, object persistence, GUIs, and website basics
     
  • System programming: Explore system interface tools and techniques for command-line scripting, processing files and folders, running programs in parallel, and more
     
  • GUI programming: Learn to use Python’s tkinter widget library
  • Internet programming: Access client-side network protocols and email tools, use CGI scripts, and learn website implementation techniques
     
  • More ways to apply Python: Implement data structures, parse text-based information, interface with databases, and extend and embed Python

So helpful!
Format: Kindle
I was a trustee on my father’s living trust. I wish I had read this before he died. As a trustee I was so confused and even had to pay his estate attorney to guide me through a few things. My husband and I have been hesitant to put together our will or trust for that very reason. After reading this I understand the process so much more. It’s not as confusing as I thought. I know I can save lots of time and money setting everything up now. Thanks!

Get ahead and learn the basics
Format: Kindle
I wanted to get ahead and learn the basics before diving deep and involve getting lawyers to help me take care of my family's assets. Just like planning for your life and getting health insurance, another way to secure your future is protecting your assets. This book provided basics of estate planning, understand key definitions, and navigate taxes and legalities. It also provided points to consider in choosing the right lawyer to help me. Bonus on this book is the checklist, I like to track my progress and to dos.

Missing so much!
Format: Kindle
This book did nothing but repeat itself. It's writings from several people as they state in the book and each person said the same thing. The whole book can be summed up in 50 pages (probably less) and is simply an outline. It literally tells you to make sure you update your documents and have your passwords secured and accessible by appropriate people. If that's the level you are looking for then this is a great book, but if you want the nitty-gritty, look elsewhere! They advertise a book that has that info supposedly but I am scared to potentially waste my money on that book since I thought I was getting that with this book, "The only Estate Planning book you'll ever need!"

A comprehensive guide to estate planning
Format: Kindle
This guide is a detailed and practical resource for anyone looking to protect their assets and plan for the future. I appreciated the clear explanations of complex topics, like the differences between revocable and irrevocable trusts and how to handle digital assets within a trust. The tips on avoiding probate and minimizing taxes are particularly useful, making the process feel more approachable. The included checklists and workbooks add extra value, helping you organize and implement your plans step-by-step. It's a solid guide for anyone wanting to take control of their estate planning and set their family up for success.

Best wipes

This wipes is literally the best! It's super moist and cleans my now 7 mth old baby really well. It's also super strong. Purchasing the box is very economical as it lasts 10-12 weeks
