Advanced Computer Programming in Python

by Karim Pichara B., Christian Pieringer B.

This book covers most of the advanced topics in Computer Programming, such as Object Oriented Design, Data Structures, Functional Programming, MetaClasses, Abstract Classes, Exceptions, Testing, Threading, Simulation, Graphical Interfaces, Input/Output, Networking and Web Services. All these topics are based on the Python 3 language. On each chapter, besides the theory, there is always code showing examples of applications. Also, at the end of each chapter, there are two hands-on activities, where a harder problem is defined, encouraging readers to solve them by themselves. We include all the solutions at the end of the book.

There is a lot of knowledge in this book. I really enjoyed the fact that better than 80% of the book was code examples with excellent descriptions of what was going on. At the time I read this I had about 800 hours into python and I did find myself having to look a few things up in order to better understand the concepts being demonstrated.

This will certainly not be a one time read, there are many chapters I'll be revisiting in the future when they are more relevant to current projects.

The one con to the book is that it is loaded with typos. Despite that problem this will no doubt be on my bookshelf, within grasp, for years to come.
