دانلود کتاب آموزش پایتون، ویرایش ششم

This book is a tutorial on the Python language and a classic in its domain. It’s the product of three decades spent using, promoting, and teaching Python, and dates back to the mid-1990s, when Python was still at version 1.X, and the web was just something developers mused about over lunch. Although the focus here is firmly on the present, that legacy naturally adds some historical context that will help you understand Python more deeply. Despite what you may have heard, the past matters, especially in knowledge-based fields. Just as importantly, this book has always been based on live-and-in-person feedback from Python beginners struggling to learn Python for the first time. This feedback mostly owes to Python training classes taught over a period of two decades. While these classes have now gone the way of the dodo and Yahoo, this book takes care to retain its learner-inspired material because that’s much—if not most—of its value. As a result, if you’re like most of the thousands of learners whose experiences have been captured here, you’ll probably find that this book works like a selfpaced version of the Python training sessions from which it arose. You may sometimes even find that it answers your questions before they are asked because a host of learners before you have had the same queries. This isn’t clairvoyance; it simply reflects the fact that learning resources do best when they listen to learners. It’s also worth noting up front that this book sometimes critiques Python changes while presenting them. Critical thinking is crucial in engineering domains— especially in one caught up in an arms race that convolutes tools used by millions of people. On some levels, Python remains a constantly morphing sandbox of ideas that too often prioritizes changer hubris over user need, and this book is not shy about calling this out. That said, the main goal here is to educate, not criticize, and opinions are always, well, opinionated. Although views here reflect decades of using and teaching Python, you should always judge the net worth of Python changes for yourself in whatever world you’ve been cast.
