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.

Summary

In this short chapter, we looked at different techniques and suggestions for debugging and troubleshooting our code. Debugging is an activity that is always part of a software developer's work, so it's important to be good at it.

If approached with the correct attitude, it can be fun and rewarding.

We explored techniques to inspect our code base on functions, logging, debuggers, traceback information, profiling, and assertions. We saw simple examples of most of them and we also talked about a set of guidelines that will help when it comes to facing the fire.

Just remember always to stay calm and focused, and debugging will be much easier. This too, is a skill that needs to be learned and it's the most important. An agitated and stressed mind cannot work properly, logically, and creatively, therefore, if you don't strengthen it, it will be hard for you...
