Daniel Arbuckles Mastering Python by Daniel Arbuckle

Key FeaturesCovers the latest and advanced concepts of Python such as parallel processing with Python 3.6Explore the Python language from its basic installation and setup to concepts such as reactive programming and microservicesGet introduced to the mechanism for rewriting code in a compiled language along with ctypes and Cython toolsBook DescriptionDaniel Arbuckles Mastering Python covers the basics of operating in a Python development environment, before moving on to more advanced topics. Daniel presents you with real-world solutions to Python 3.6 and advanced-level concepts, such as reactive programming, microservices, ctypes, and Cython tools.You dont need to be familiar with the Python language to use this book, as Daniel starts with a Python primer. Throughout, Daniel highlights the major aspects of managing your Python development environment, shows you how to handle parallel computation, and helps you to master asynchronous I/O with Python 3.6 to improve performance. Finally, Daniel will teach you the secrets of metaprogramming and unit testing in Python, helping you acquire the perfect skillset to be a Python expert.Daniel will get you up to speed on everything from basic programming practices to high-end tools and techniques, things that will help set you apart as a successful Python programmer.What you will learnGet to grips with the basics of operating in a Python development environmentBuild Python packages to efficiently create reusable codeBecome proficient at creating tools and utility programs in PythonUse the Git version control system to protect your development environment from unwanted changesHarness the power of Python to automate other softwareDistribute computational tasks across multiple processorsHandle high I/O loads with asynchronous I/O to get a smoother performanceTake advantage of Pythons metaprogramming and programmable syntax featuresGet acquainted with the concepts behind reactive programming and RxPyAbout the AuthorDaniel Arbuckle gained his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southern California.
