Python Network Programming

Lots of information and sample code. I like that the author explains the code as well.

First the name of the book is "PYTHON Network Programming" The author starts every example with a detailed power shell example and then glances over a python version. Why? Second there are several blatantly wrong statements within the book. "Date" is not a python data type, maybe it's a power shell data type but again what's the name of the book. When listing Python data types the first one he puts up is "Numbers", This is not a data type either. There are int, float and complex, but there's no such thing as a generic "number" data type. He also goes on to describe interpreted or "scripting" languages as ones that define variables very simply, x=5 or y="cat", where as Compiled languages define variables in a more complex way, int x=5, string y="cat", etc. While you can generalize that compiled languages are statically typed meaning that the type of the variable is declared at creation and cannot change these are two different attributes of a language strictly speaking just because your working with an interpreted language does not mean it cannot be statically typed. I would expect this kind of sloppiness from a co-worker helping out someone that is asking a question and kind of new, But your writing a book! Check your facts and explain the material. If your unable or unwilling to do that then take up another profession.

Un libro interessante da leggere, sicuramente molto del contenuto lo si trova on line, ma se siete dei professionisti dell'ambito IT, è un libro da avere.A very interesting book, certainly much of the contents can be found online, but if you are an IT sys admin, it is a book to have.

Good book for beginner
