Synopsis

Python in Practice – Volume I

Foundations and Idiomatic Programming

Master modern Python by design—not just by syntax.

This first volume of the Python in Practice series delivers a comprehensive and practical introduction to the core language, combining deep insights into Python's semantics with idiomatic programming techniques used by professionals. Designed for software engineers, students, and self-taught developers alike, the book emphasizes clarity, readability, and scalability in real-world codebases.

You will learn:

• The philosophy behind Python’s syntax and structure

• How to write idiomatic, expressive, and maintainable code

• Foundational constructs: functions, classes, data structures, exceptions, and modules

• Advanced techniques: comprehensions, decorators, iterators, metaclasses, and dynamic attributes

• The "Zen of Python" and how it shapes professional coding practices

With line-by-line code explanations, real-world examples, and a focus on clean design patterns, this book will equip you to build reliable Python applications from the ground up—whether you're starting a new project or leveling up your skills.

This volume lays the groundwork for deeper topics such as environments, packaging, web APIs, data workflows, and automation, explored in subsequent books of the series.

Start your journey toward professional Python development—with precision, confidence, and practical know-how.
