Starting With Python 2.5

The popular open source programming language, Python, has been making the news with its efficient techniques and reusable codes. For the past 15years after its inception, more than 1million developers have either start or switched to Python. There are many books of Python of course in my custody, but would prefer to start with that of Mark Lutz, a famous developer and teacher of the language for more than fifteen years.

I have downloaded the Python IDE and Command shell already from the Python Website. After reading the installation instruction, I unbundled it on to my system and very soon, the tutorial will start.

One thing with Python is its simplicity and code reusability. With this, I mean, you can easily read Python codes, maintain and deploy them to other compiled languages like C and C++. Python also has the option of Object-Oriented Programming. You can equally use Python to program almost everything you want a computer to do for you; from database, file sharing, web design, server administration, games programming, GUI development and many more.

The book is around 500pps and my timeline is to see through in the next one month, all things being equal. Feel free to post your comments.
