Overview of this book

Learn Python Programming is a quick, thorough, and practical introduction to Python - an extremely flexible and powerful programming language that can be applied to many disciplines. Unlike other books, it doesn't bore you with elaborate explanations of the basics but gets you up-and-running, using the language. You will begin by learning the fundamentals of Python so that you have a rock-solid foundation to build upon. You will explore the foundations of Python programming and learn how Python can be manipulated to achieve results. Explore different programming paradigms and find the best approach to a situation; understand how to carry out performance optimization and effective debugging; control the flow of a program; and utilize an interchange format to exchange data. You'll also walk through cryptographic services in Python and understand secure tokens. Learn Python Programming will give you a thorough understanding of the Python language. You'll learn how to write programs, build websites, and work with data by harnessing Python's renowned data science libraries. Filled with real-world examples and projects, the book covers various types of applications, and concludes by building real-world projects based on the concepts you have learned.

Final considerations

That's it. Now you have seen a very good proportion of the data structures that you will use in Python. I encourage you to take a dive into the Python documentation and experiment further with each and every data type we've seen in this chapter. It's worth it, believe me. Everything you'll write will be about handling data, so make sure your knowledge about it is rock solid.

Before we leap into Chapter 3, Iterating and Making Decisions, I'd like to share some final considerations about different aspects that to my mind are important and not to be neglected.
