SUMMARY:
Perl programmers: Leverage your Perl skills with Python!-- Key issues developers face in migrating to Python -- and practical solutions.-- Includes an in-depth introduction to Python's object-oriented facilities.-- Contains extensive sample code for data manipulation, networking, and Web programming.Python is one of the world's fastest-growing Web development languages, and thousands of Perl programmers are now seeking to master it. This is the first book designed to help Perl programmers leverage their existing skills in Python development. Martin C. Brown -- one of the world's leading Perl authors -- reviews the specific similarities and differences between each language, presents examples of how common Perl tasks can be performed with Python, and offers an in-depth introduction to Python's object-oriented facilities -- the backbone of the language. Brown begins by presenting Python's advantages, helping Perl developers understand when it makes sense to solve problems with Python instead of Perl. He reviews the issues associated with migrating from Perl to Python, and each language's layout and approach to problem solving. Brown presents Python's core concepts and technologies and compares Python with Perl, offering Perl refreshers wherever necessary. He covers key applications for both Perl and Python programming, including data manipulation, networking, and Web programming. The book will be supported with additional samples and Perl/Python migration information at the author's Web site, www.mcwords.com.
