Status Updates From Penguin Random House Python...

Ch 8: Functions, making code reusable.

Modularitynin critical to avoid being redundant and to code elegantly.

Ch. 7. User input and while loops

It's a flexible behavior when programs respond to a user's request, and it's what we see often (else they can just run in the background)

你编写的大多数程序都将直接在文本编辑器中运行，但有时候，从终端运行程序很有用。例如，你可能想直接运行既有的程序。
在任何安装了Python的系统上都可以这样做，前提是你知道如何进入程序文件所在的目录。为尝试这样做，请确保已将文件hello_world.py存储到了桌面的python_work文件夹中。

离开计算机，先休息一会儿，再尝试。别忘了，在编程中，语法非常重要，即便是少一个冒号、引号不匹配或括号不匹配，都可能导致程序无法正确地运行。请再次阅读本章相关的内容，再次审视你所做的工作，看看能否找出错误。

Ch. 6 - Dictionaries

I can solve many problems, mine and others, with code. By now, I can picture many of these.

I'm interested in dictionaries mainly as an artisan way, so to say, to handle data from external sources of data, making it usable.
