Welcome to Python! We have worked hard to create what we hope will be an informative and entertaining learning experience for you. The manner in which we approached this topic created a book that is unique among Python textbooks for many reasons. For instance, we introduce early in the text the use of Python with the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) for programming Web-based applications. We do this so that we can demonstrate a variety of dynamic, Web-based applications in the remainder of the book. This text also introduces a range of topics, including object-oriented programming (OOP), the Python database application programming interface (DB-API), graphics, the Extensible Markup Language (XML), security and an appendix on Web accessibility that addresses programming and technologies relevant to people with impairments. Whether you are a novice or an experienced programmer, there is much here to inform, entertain and challenge you. Python How to Program is designed to be appropriate for readers at all levels, from practicing programmers to individuals with little or no programming experience. How can one book appeal to both novices and skilled programmers? The core of this book emphasizes achieving program clarity through proven techniques of structured programming and object-based programming. Nonprogrammers learn basic skills that underlie good programming; experienced programmers receive a rigorous explanation of the language and may improve their programming styles. To aid beginning programmers, we have written this text in a clear and straightforward manner, with abundant illustrations. Perhaps most importantly, the book presents hundreds of complete working Python programs and shows the outputs produced when those programs are run on a computer. We call this our LiveCode™ approach. All of the book’s examples are available on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book and on our Web site, www.deitel.com.
