One problem that we all have these days is remembering passwords. We have passwords for everything: websites, phones, cards, bank accounts, and so on. The amount of information we have to memorize is just too much, so many people end up using the same password over and over again. This is very bad, of course, so at some point, tools were invented to alleviate this problem. One of these tools is called KeepassX, and basically it works like this: you start the software by setting up a special password called master password. Once inside, you store a record for each password you need to memorize, for example, your e-mail account, the bank website, credit card information, and so on. When you close the software, it encrypts the database used to store all that information, so that the data can only be accessed by the owner of the master password. Therefore, kind of in a Lord of The Rings fashion, by just owning one password, you rule them all.

Overview of this book
Learning Python has a dynamic and varied nature. It reads easily and lays a good foundation for those who are interested in digging deeper. It has a practical and example-oriented approach through which both the introductory and the advanced topics are explained. Starting with the fundamentals of programming and Python, it ends by exploring very different topics, like GUIs, web apps and data science. The book takes you all the way to creating a fully fledged application.
The book begins by exploring the essentials of programming, data structures and teaches you how to manipulate them. It then moves on to controlling the flow of a program and writing reusable and error proof code. You will then explore different programming paradigms that will allow you to find the best approach to any situation, and also learn how to perform performance optimization as well as effective debugging. Throughout, the book steers you through the various types of applications, and it concludes with a complete mini website built upon all the concepts that you learned.
