Ciao all,
Below is the filled table of contents for the Python sub-tree.
I would limit my contribution to those topics alone, coz I'd
like to move on to another topic (prob xml-rpc).
This should be enough to confuse a beginner :)
Quasi final Python section :
- Intro
- Using the interpreter
- Comment
- Variables
- If
- While loop
- List
- For loop
- Tuple
- Functions
- Module
- Package
- Dictionary
- Classes
- Inheritance
- Exceptions
- Multiple Inheritance
- Pickle
- Shelve
The third draft would be released tomorrow.
By the end of the week, I should have this contents in a decent
condition.
