Characterized by ease of use, richness of expression, and concise
syntax, Python has remained a premier programming language for more than a decade,
and is used by novices and professionals alike. In particular, its close relationship
to Java™ makes the two languages, when used in combination, ideal for Web
and distributed enterprise application development.
This tutorial begins with coverage of some of the basics of Python
programming. Using plenty of skill-building exercises and interactive programming
sessions, the book will help those new to programming develop an understanding
of concepts and practical techniques. For experienced programmers, the book
demonstrates Python's breadth of capabilities and shows the ways that Python
interfaces with the Java APIs for professional application development.
Python Programming with the Java™ Class Libraries:
A Tutorial for Building Web and Enterprise Applications covers important
topics such as:
- Fundamental programming concepts, including statements, expressions, interpreters,
and compilers
- Python basics, including operators, string formatting, namespaces, classes,
errors, and exceptions
- Object-oriented programming concepts
- File input/output
- Python's intrinsic functions
- Formatting, parsing, and manipulating strings
- Interfacing with the Java APIs and working with Java Streams
- Using Python and Java Swing to create GUIs
- Working with SQL and JDBC™
- Python and Java applets
In addition, the book contains instructions for downloading and
installing the Python language and the JDK. Terminology, definitions, explanations,
and numerous code samples make this book a useful learning experience. Whether
you are a sophisticated computer user new to programming or a serious application
developer, Python Programming with the Java™ Class Libraries
