Pro Android Python with SL4A

Pro Android Python with SL4A By Paul Ferrill
Publisher: Apr...ess 2011 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 1430235691 | EPUB + PDF + MOBI | 6 MB + 6 MB + 6 MB

Pro Android Python with SL4A is for programmers and hobbyists who want to write apps for Android devices without having to learn Java first. Paul Ferrill leads you from installing the Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) to writing small scripts, to more complicated and interesting projects, and finally to uploading and packaging your programs to an Android device.

Android runs scripts in many scripting languages, but Python, Lua, and Beanshell are particularly popular. Most programmers know more than one programming language, so that they have the best tool for whatever task they want to accomplish. Pro Android Python with SL4A explores the world of Android scripting by introducing you to the most important open-source programming languages that are available on Android-based hardware.

Pro Android Python with SL4A starts by exploring the Android software development kit and then shows you how to set up an Eclipse-based Android development environment. You then approach the world of Android programming by using Beanshell, which runs on the Dalvik, and learning how to write small programs to administer an Android device.

Next, discover how Lua, a lightweight language perfectly suited for scripting on smaller devices, can work with Android. Lua can be used for small but important tasks, like SMS encryption and synchronizing photos with flickr.

Last, but certainly not least, you will discover the world of Python scripting for SL4A, and the power contained within the full range of Python modules that can combine with the Android SDK. You'll learn to write small location-aware apps to get you started, but by the end of this book, you'll find yourself writing fully GUI-fied applications running on the Android desktop!

Pro Android Python with SL4A is rounded out with a chapter on distributing and packaging scripts, a skill that you'll find very useful as you reach out to a wider audience with your programs.

What you’ll learn

• Understand the SL4A
  
• Explore the Android software development kit
  
• Write scripts to administer an Android phone
  
• Write and execute full Python and applications
  
• Learn how to write simple apps using Facades
  
• Explore the full Android development process, from development to packaging
  

Who this book is for
This is a book for beginning and intermediate Android developers, and a book for anyone coding in Python, Lua or exploring Beanshell.

Programming in Python 3: A Complete Introduction to the Python Language

Mark Summerfield, "Programming in Python 3: A Complete Introduction to the Python Language (2nd Edition)"
Addison-Wesley Professional | 2009-11-22 | ISBN: 0321680561 | 648 pages | PDF | 2 MB

A Fully Revised Edition Featuring New Material on Coroutines, Debugging, Testing, Parsing, String Formatting, and More

Python 3 is the best version of the language yet: It is more powerful, convenient, consistent, and expressive than ever before. Now, leading Python programmer Mark Summerfield demonstrates how to write code that takes full advantage of Python 3’s features and idioms. Programming in Python 3, Second Edition, brings together all the knowledge you need to write any program, use any standard or third-party Python 3 library, and create new library modules of your own.

Summerfield draws on his many years of Python experience to share deep insights into Python 3 development you won’t find anywhere else. He begins by illuminating Python’s “beautiful heart”: the eight key elements of Python you need to write robust, high-performance programs. Building on these core elements, he introduces new topics designed to strengthen your practical expertise–one concept and hands-on example at a time. Coverage includes

# Developing in Python using procedural, objectoriented, and functional programming paradigms
# Creating custom packages and modules
# Writing and reading binary, text, and XML files, including optional compression, random access, and text and XML parsing
# Leveraging advanced data types, collections, control structures, and functions
# Spreading program workloads across multiple processes and threads
# Programming SQL databases and key—value DBM files
# Debugging techniques–and using Test Driven Development to avoid bugs in the first place
# Utilizing Python’s regular expression mini-language and module
# Parsing techniques, including how to use the third-party PyParsing and PLY modules
# Building usable, efficient, GUI-based applications
# Advanced programming techniques, including generators, function and class decorators, context managers, descriptors, abstract base classes, metaclasses, coroutines, and more

Programming in Python 3, Second Edition, serves as both tutorial and language reference. It assumes some prior programming experience, and it is accompanied by extensive downloadable example code–all of it tested with Python 3 on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

With a focus on programming concepts, this book teaches you how to:

Understand the core features of all programming languages, including: variables, statements, decisions, loops, expressions, and operators
Reuse code with functions
Use library code to save time and effort
Select the best data structure to manage complex data
Write programs that talk to the Web
Share your data with other programs
Write programs that test themselves and help you avoid embarrassing coding errors

We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First Programming uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

Making Use Of Python

This book owes its existence to the collaboration made possible by the Internet and the free software movement. Its three authors|a college professor, a high school teacher, and a professional programmer|have yet to meet face to face, but we have been able to work closely together and have been aided by many wonderful folks who have donated their time and energy to helping make this book better. We think this book is a testament to the benefits and future possibilities of this kind of collaboration, the framework for which has been put in place by Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation.
