If you've mastered Python's fundamentals, you're ready to start using it to get real work done. Programming Python will show you how, with in-depth tutorials on the language's primary application domains: system administration, GUIs, and the Web. You'll also explore how Python is used in databases, networking, front-end scripting layers, text processing, and more. This book focuses on commonly used tools and libraries to give you a comprehensive understanding of Python’s many roles in practical, real-world programming.

You'll learn language syntax and programming techniques in a clear and concise manner, with lots of examples that illustrate both correct usage and common idioms. Completely updated for version 3.x, Programming Python also delves into the language as a software development tool, with many code examples scaled specifically for that purpose.

Topics include:

  • Quick Python tour: Build a simple demo that includes data representation, object-oriented programming, object persistence, GUIs, and website basics
     
  • System programming: Explore system interface tools and techniques for command-line scripting, processing files and folders, running programs in parallel, and more
     
  • GUI programming: Learn to use Python’s tkinter widget library
  • Internet programming: Access client-side network protocols and email tools, use CGI scripts, and learn website implementation techniques
     
  • More ways to apply Python: Implement data structures, parse text-based information, interface with databases, and extend and embed Python

One of the greatest books I’ve ever read
Format: Audiobook
I wish I could have met this man. I began having OBE’s about 8 years before I read the journeys trilogy. When he talked about the out of body simulations my head nearly popped off. I’ve had a few of those and never found them described in detail anywhere else. This is the greatest book and most profound trilogy on personal spiritual exploration and out of body travel ever written. Period. Such a gem and so incredible to be experienced outside the traditional contexts of yoga and meditation. A true original work. Thank you Bob. These 3 books changed my life and made me finally enquire “what is under the hood” in an OBE. What transports the astral body or consciousness from one dimension to another?

This is a must-read for all those who are seeking answers.
Format: Paperback
If you can read only one of Robert Monroe's 3 books ("Journeys Out of the Body," "Far Journeys" and "Ultimate Journey"), "Ultimate Journey" is the one to read. Monroe's books chronicle his amazing learning experiences as his ability to travel out of the body develops and his capability to remember and to put these odysseys into words increases. Without laboring over material covered in the first two books, Monroe sums up his earlier adventures and then writes about his most recent and significant discoveries on this, his spiritual journey to understanding. If you have ever wondered if there is a God, why the Bible says that God is Love and in another place, shows God to be a vengeful being who orders the killing of many people, "Ultimate Journey" and the lessons taught to Monroe in his out-of-body state will help to clear up these questions. To say that "Ultimate Journey" will give you a whole new perspective on life, death and what lies beyond is an understatement. This is a must-read for those who are seeking answers! And, if at all possible, read all 3 books in order. "Far Journeys" is definately the most difficult to read, since much of it reflects Monroe's efforts to translate non-verbal communications from non-humans into English. But the information in that book is voluminous and well worth the effort to read it. Happy reading, fellow seekers!

YOU can actually LEARN to do this!
Format: Paperback
"Eavesdropping on Animals” by George Bumann really was a welcome break for me as I spend so much time outside in Nature. George is also amazing at being able to read Nature in a way I had never seen before. His insight via really listening & paying attention to everything around him, is so precise - he can literally know where animals are without seeing them. I got this book mainly because HE wrote it & I knew it would be interesting. The thing that surprised me was he actually teaches you how to do what he does (ie: know exactly where a wolf pack is traveling by hearing a certain coyote call & knowing the terrain). I started simply by really paying attention to all of the bird songs going on outside my window very early each morning & could finally hear ones that were repetitively there & was able to figure out what they meant by getting outside & sitting on my patio as I drank my tea. If you LOVE NATURE, you would so get into this book. It’s a great teaching guide, plus his stories are so cool! Entertaining & informative to read.

Will forever change your experiences in nature!
Format: Hardcover
I am an instructor in animal language in the wildlife ecology department at two leading universities and I can attest that George is an expert animal whisperer/linguist. I've had the pleasure of knowing him and hearing his stories, and this book is an outstanding gateway into understanding the behavior of animals. It will reveal a whole new world to you every time you step outside, whether you live in an urban area or next to a wilderness.
