Beschreibung
TwENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, the world was a different place. Talking to someone across the ocean was, for most people, an exceptionally rare experience. Sending a letter could take weeks. Listening to a shortwave newscast from a foreign land required technical skill, patience, and precise atmospheric conditions. Today, we think nothing of receiving an e-mail from South Korea, checking the weather in California, and reading the day's headlines in Germany-all in less than five minutes. Files zip across the global electronic network, allowing us to do every thing from managing investment accounts to seeing pictures of distant relatives. And yet, despite all that has happened in the last 25 years, the Internet is still in its infancy. It's a new technology, still growing. I wrote this book because the Internet is exciting. In the past few years, we've seen the rise of an entire industry that did not exist before. It's a place where inventors thrive. And that is what I hope you get from this book. I want this to be your lab manual-your guide for inventing things that make the Internet better. Organization This book is divided into five parts. The first part explains how the Internet works. You'll learn about the fundamentals oflnternet communication, and the examples provide you with the basic tools that you'll use to assemble your programs. Part Two covers web-based services and Part Three covers e-mail services.
"Foundations of Python Network Programming" leads readers through every aspect of client and server programming with Python. Python is a new and innovative scripting language. It is set to replace Perl as the programming language of choice for scripters and for serious application developers wanting a feature rich yet simple language to deploy their products in.
This book features extensive examples that not only demonstrate important concepts and practices, but also provide a cadre of fully-functional standalone programs. Readers can use the examples as the basis and building blocks for their own software.
