You’re prepared to become a Python developer, and you’re about to take your first steps on that journey. The beginning of this book is about honing your Python skills and adding new ideas and behaviors to how you go about using Python.
In chapter 2, you’ll gain a broader view of the importance of how to name things. You’ll also see what namespaces are and why they’re amazing and well-supported in Python.
Chapter 3 will introduce you to the application programmers interface, or API, which is where developers and computers connect. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is the subject of chapter 4. You’ll learn how to use it in Python and how it can benefit your design and implementation process.
In chapter 5, you’ll see how to handle exceptional events in your code, including generating exceptions of your own. Avoiding unwanted exceptions is important, but handling them properly when they happen is even more important. After this, you’ll be ready to take your Python skills out for some fieldwork, where you’ll pull together what you’ve learned to create a blogging web application.
