      Introduction

      I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, "Python Programming For Intermediates: Learn The Basics of Python in 7 Days".

      This book is the ultimate guide to python programming for intermediates. It will enable you to learn all that in as little as 7 days.

      Congratulations for making it to this level and welcome to the second edition of our Python programming in 7 days series. I hope you had fun with the beginner’s edition and are ready to learn some more!

      In case you have forgotten, Python is the best programming language for learners or established programmers not only because of its convenience and ease of use, but also because it makes coding so attractive and fun.

      In this second edition of the tutorial, we will cover a range of topics that will help you understand and perform complex Python programming projects. My assumption is that you already know the basics of Python including downloading and installing important Python programs and working with the basic Python functions. Otherwise, you need to revisit the first edition to make sure you are ready to take on intermediate level programming.

      Let us start by mentioning what we covered in the first edition of this series:

      ✓  Downloading and installing Python on major operating systems

      ✓  How to interact with Python

      ✓  Writing your first program

      ✓  Methods and functions–including variables, strings, lists, tuples, and dictionaries

      ✓  Loops 

      ✓  User defined functions

      ✓  Beginner level Python projects

      In this book, we will talk about the following:

      ✓  Shallow copy and deep copy

      ✓  Objects and classes in Python–including python inheritance, multiple inheritance, and so on

      ✓  Recursion in Python

      ✓  Debugging and testing

      ✓  Fibonacci sequence (definition) and Memoization in Python in Python

      ✓  Arguments in Python

      ✓  Namespaces in Python and Python Modules

      ✓  Simple Python projects for Intermediates

      By reading this book, you will learn all that and much more. Let’s begin.

      Thanks again for downloading this book. I hope you enjoy it!
