Overview of this book

Python is a multi-paradigm programming language with object-oriented and structured programming fully supported, and many features support functional and aspect-oriented programming (metaprogramming and metaobjects). Several other paradigms are supported through extensions, including design by contract and logical programming. This course begins with a brief introduction and covers basic to advanced programming techniques in Python. The first 12 sections of the course cover Python basics. The remaining sections cover intermediate to advanced Python concepts (OOPS, classes, lists, modules, functions, JSON, and so on). Learn to use Matplotlib, NumPy, Flask, and Android APK files. Learn database handling and build geographical apps. The ten buildable apps covered in the course include a volcano web map generator, object detector app, personal website built with Python and Flask, book inventory desktop GUI app with SQL backend, data analysis/visualization dashboard, mobile app on Android and iOS devices, an app that scrapes multiple real estate webpages data, web app to collect user data and sends emails, blog and translator with Django, and web app to process Excel files and download processed files. Upon completion, you can create executable Python programs independently and master coding syntax and Python comprehensively.
