How to become a proficient Python programmer | Munen Alain M. Lafon Spoiler: This post is primarily gonna be an excerpt of my bookmarks collection. That’s because more intelligent men than me have already written great articles on the topic of how to become a great Python programmer. I will focus on four primary topics: Functional programming, performance, testing and code guidelines. Functional programming Writing code in an imperative style has become the de facto standard. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, that’s great. Performance There’s so much talk going on about how inefficient these ‘scripting languages’ (Python, Ruby, …) are, that it’s easy to forget that very often it’s the algorithm chosen by the programmer that leads to horrible runtime behaviour. Those articles are a great place to get a feel for the ins and outs of Python’s runtime behaviour, so you can get your high performing application writting in a language that is concise and fun to write. Testing Testing is probably one the most misjudged topics in computer science these days.

A number of popular articles in the computer press have discussed the advantages of IPython, and it is a component of the SciPy package. IPython can also be used as a system shell replacement, especially on Windows which has a minimally capable shell. read more Selected biography Van Rossum was born and grew up in the Netherlands, where he received a masters degree from the University of Amsterdam in 1982. read more Categories Quotes Quotations related to Python at Wikiquote Purge server cache
Improving your programming style in Python -- Gaël Varoquaux: computer / data / brain science Here are some references on software development techniques and patterns to help write better code. They are intended for the casual programmer, and certainly not an advanced developer. They are listed in order of difficulty. Software carpentry These are the original notes from Greg Wilson’s course on software engineering at the university of Toronto. Software design for maintainability My own post A case of shameless plug: this is a post that I wrote a few years ago. Writing a graphical application for scientific programming using TraitsUI Building interactive graphical application is a difficult problem. General Object-Oriented programming advice Designing Object-oriented code actually requires some care: when you are building your set of abstractions, you are designing the world in which you are going to be condemned to living (or actually coding).

Text Processing in Python (a book) A couple of you make donations each month (out of about a thousand of you reading the text each week). Tragedy of the commons and all that... but if some more of you would donate a few bucks, that would be great support of the author. In a community spirit (and with permission of my publisher), I am making my book available to the Python community. Minor corrections can be made to later printings, and at the least errata noted on this website. Email me at <mertz@gnosis.cx> . A few caveats: (1) This stuff is copyrighted by AW (except the code samples which are released to the public domain).

Doc Livres Cloud Python Programming Language – Official Website Afpy [Biologeek] Création de coopératives Publié le 2014-04-24 11:00:00 Coopératives. Le mot semblerait presque désuet. À l’heure où l’économie est aux mains d’une finance high-tech, le mot sonne comme l’écho d’une vision vieillote, celle des utopies fouriéristes et d’un capitalisme soucieux de la condition ouvrière. Dans la perspective d’une refonte du site internet de scopyleft je m’interroge sur la pertinence d’avoir une partie dédiée à la création d’une SCOP (Société Coopérative et Participative).

Practical Common Lisp This page, and the pages it links to, contain text of the Common Lisp book Practical Common Lisp published by Apress These pages now contain the final text as it appears in the book. If you find errors in these pages, please send email to book@gigamonkeys.com. These pages will remain online in perpetuity—I hope they will serve as a useful introduction to Common Lisp for folks who are curious about Lisp but maybe not yet curious enough to shell out big bucks for a dead-tree book and a good Common Lisp tutorial for folks who want to get down to real coding right away. My new book, Coders at Work, a collection of Q&A interviews with fifteen all-time great programmers and computer scientists, is out and available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell's, other fine booksellers near you and as an eBook from Apress.

An Introduction to Python - Fancier Output Formatting So far we've encountered two ways of writing values: expression statements and the print statement. (A third way is using the write() method of file objects; the standard output file can be referenced as sys.stdout. See the Python Library Reference Manual for more information on this.) Often you'll want more control over the formatting of your output than simply printing space-separated values. There are two ways to format your output; the first way is to do all the string handling yourself; using string slicing and concatenation operations you can create any layout you can imagine. One question remains, of course: how do you convert values to strings? The str() function is meant to return representations of values which are fairly human-readable, while repr() is meant to generate representations which can be read by the interpreter (or will force a SyntaxError if there is not equivalent syntax). Some examples: Here are two ways to write a table of squares and cubes:
