Python for PHP developers
Python for PHP developers
About the Book
Does Python have a "composer" system? How do data structures like sets, tuples and dictionaries relate to PHP arrays? How do I create SOLID objects when all methods and properties are always public in Python?
This book will cover everything you need to know about Python as a PHP developer.
While there are many Python beginner tutorials out there, none of them really talk about Python with a PHP developer in mind. This book is written for PHP developers who want to start learning Python. It starts with the regular foundations, but this book will talk about how they relate back to PHP so it will be easier to grasp.
