Rapid Python Programming: GUI Creation, Django Web Server, Game Programming, and Stock Analysis
Python is a flexible, easy to learn high level programming language. With a few short lessons you can rapidly develop new tools in no time with little or no difficulty.
With “Rapid Python Programming” you will truly master a “Pythonic” approach to programming, and harness Python’s full power to write robust exceptional code.
This book quickly builds from beginner to intermediate, and walks you through hands-on exercises on advanced topics such as web applications, GUI, network programming, gaming, and stock analysis.
You will learn to access structured and unstructured data from local files, databases, and the internet. This book can be used as a reference to help guide you in your efforts to create solutions for a variety of medium-scale projects.
Programs by nature evolve towards complexity and most languages foster the ability to design in a structured way even if the language is not a structured programming language. Python is flexible and gives you the opportunity to code in many styles from object oriented and imperative to functional, or structured programming.

It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the backend of online games. It delves into architecture, scalability, and the real-time challenges of running multiplayer games. For developers and curious gamers alike, understanding this foundation can enhance your appreciation for what goes into building a great experience. Similarly, if you’re interested in how custom game worlds are managed today, take a look at rsps-list that showcases RuneScape Private Servers built with those same principles of flexibility and player control. Private servers are the modern echo of what platforms like Darkstar envisioned—community-powered worlds with limitless creativity.

Pretty good easy quick overview of python, goes from the basics to djang o framework and deep into game programming which I don't really care about as a devops engineer. The djang chapter has some problems where he doesn't maintain his naming exactly and doesn't mention requisites for some modules and sections, so when I got the framework build it was full of errors but with some thinking and troubleshooting i was able to correct it but perhaps not something you want to worry about when your learning.
