If you're already an experienced programmer and you're interested in adding Python to your list of languages, this nine-part series gives you a good start.

Twisted is a framework for networked applications. In this article, you'll learn how to use the Secure Shell (SSH) with Twisted to accomplish a variety of useful tasks. This article is excerpted from chapter 10 of the book Twisted Network Programming Essentials, written by Abe Fettig (O'Reilly, 2007; ISBN: 0596100329). Copyright © 2007 O'Reilly Media, Inc.

In this discussion I will focus on the basics of using a UI library provided by PyS60. The first section will focus on the types of controls. The second and third sections will be about two basic controls – query and note. In the fourth section, a simple application will be developed that uses the controls discussed in the second and third sections. That’s the agenda for this discussion.

We touched on how numbers work in Python a while back in the beginning of our series on Python. In the past few tutorials we discussed strings and how to manipulate them and some of the string methods. Here, in this article, we will go over some of the math modules and discuss different uses for numbers in Python.

As the students used to say to Mr. Kotter: "Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back." In our previous article we talked some more about how to manipulate strings in Python, leaving off with indexing and slicing. Here, we will pick up again with slicing, using it to “change” the contents of a string.

In our last article we left off discussing ways to manipulate strings in Python, like concatenating, repeating, escape characters, and so forth. In this episode we will pick up where we left off and learn some more ways to work with strings, starting with the comparison method.

If you have ever programmed before, or are a ninety-year-old lady, or a cat, then you know how useful strings are. If you have been reading these articles, you will know that a string is a character, a sentence, a paragraph, a book, etc. If you haven't been reading these articles, then you're missing an important part of your education as a programmer. Don't keep yourself in the dark; start reading!

In the previous two articles on Python, I promised to tell you about Operators, but I lied. Instead I covered such things as conditionals, sets, lists, dictionaries, and so forth. Now, at last, I am going to cover the various operators that Python has to offer, and force you, I mean teach you, to manipulate data with them.

In the last article I discussed various Bluetooth profiles. If one wants to create a client-server based application using Bluetooth, then one should program for the RFCOMM profile. RFCOMM offers a socket-based client-server paradigm for providing services.

In our last article we left off discussing Python's version of arrays (the list and dictionary). I also gave you a brief introduction to some Operators. In this tutorial I will tell you about Python's remaining data holder, Sets, and prepare you for a later discussion of Operators in Python.

In our last article we learned how to get input from the user, store data in a variable, and work with some basic operators to manipulate that data. In this article we will learn to use Conditional Statements and possibly create functions. So wipe that mustard off your chin, clean the dishes, and let's get to work.
