Using the proven formula that has turned several Head First titles into bestsellers, Head First Python is a complete learning experience for the Python language, designed for users with limited previous experience with general programming concepts in another language. Starting with lists and basic data structures, the second edition is updated to handle the rapidly developing world of big data. More emphasis is also placed on the best use of object-oriented programming in Python, and the book also introduces advanced language features like Decorators, Generators and Context Managers. It wraps up with state-of-the-art mobile programming and Python for the cloud.
