<p><strong>You're already a smart person</strong>, you don't need a 1000+ page book to get you started on the web's fastest growing programming platform. Instead, <em>Learn Python in One Hour</em> delivers on the promise of code literacy while saving your most precious commodity - time itself. Volkman's innovative programming-by-example approach means you focus on usage, not mindless detail. Based on the author's sold-out live seminars, you'll see Python's flexible coding technique in action as we refactor from script to procedural to object-oriented during actual problem solving.<br />
In a twelve-lesson progression, you'll be exposed to this and more:</p>
<ul>
<li>Basic file input and output operations, incuding exceptions</li>
<li>Using functions to compute and return multiple values</li>
<li>Basic elements of a class definition and how to call methods</li>
<li>Lists, dictionaries, sets, and other collections</li>
<li>Iteration through collections, files, sorted sets</li>
<li>Searching strings with regular expressions (<strong>regex</strong>)</li>
<li>Client and server programs for<strong> REST methods</strong></li>
<li><strong>Using threads</strong> in Python for multiple tasks</li>
<li><strong>CGI-BIN programming</strong> for simple HTML Forms processing</li>
<li>Six most common Python pitfalls</li>
</ul>
<p>Take the One Hour challenge and see if you too can pick up 90% of syntax and semantics in less time than you probably spend commuting each day.<br />

<strong>About the Author</strong><br />
Victor R. Volkman graduated <em>cum laude</em> from Michigan Technological University with a BS in Computer Science in 1986. Since then, he has written for numerous publications, including <em>The C Gazette, C++ Users Journal, Windows Developers Journal,</em> and many others. He has taught college-level programming courses at Washtenaw Community College and has served on its Computer Information Science (CIS) Faculty Advisory Board for more than a decade. Volkman says Python helped him 'rediscover the joy of programming again.'<br />
