Have just put up Cloud Comp...Hi, Andre and All --<br /><br />Have just put up <A HREF="www.cloud-computing-with-python.com" REL="nofollow"> Cloud Computing with Python </A>, which is companion website for the first-semester introductory Python text (of the same name), which specifically includes how to load Python programs to the Google Cloud. It also addresses how Python is the "language of choice" for cloud computing, with a modest coverage of cloud computing in the book. (More references, and more up-to-date material, will be on the website.)<br /><br />The book is in progress, with publication anticipated in early Autumn. It will initially be available through Amazon.<br /><br />The website will contain various figures, graphs, tables, chapter summaries, exercises, and projects from the book, as fast as I can transfer them over. In addition, it is designed to be a resource-rich website, as the field is moving much faster than any book can track. <br /><br />Please visit at your convenience!<br /><br />Thanks -- Alianna <br /><br />PS -- Andre -- have just linked from the site to your "most excellent" python.org community SIG-EDU page -- premier reference!aliannajmarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908911045233107691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9266717.post-13979635705649797172009-05-11T08:19:00.000-03:002009-05-11T08:19:00.000-03:00Alianna: Thank you for the information.

This will be "Cloud Computing with Python." <br /><br />As part of the background work, I've done a review of existing Python texts -- will extract and consolidate and send to you today. There are a few (Higher Ed) texts that you don't have listed, and I can also provide you w/ comments on the various ones. <br /><br />Again, good work, I'll be linking to your post shortly, and providing content As Much As Possible (AMAP) ASAP. <br /><br />Oh, yes - you can connect to my blog at http://aliannajmaren.blogspot.com, and my website is www.aliannajmaren.com. <br />Don't have the Python-related materials linked in yet, but will inform you as I do.aliannajmarenhttp://aliannajmaren.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9266717.post-26566930320645728802009-04-16T22:20:00.000-03:002009-04-16T22:20:00.000-03:00Hank:
Thanks, but ... I already have a link for "...Hank:<br /><br />Thanks, but ... I already have a link for "how to think like a computer scientist", and a link to the Python wiki that has links to *many* books. The edu-sig page is targeted at educators (read: teachers and university professors) who would might be interested in using Python in courses. As such, regular programming books are not really of specific interest.<br /><br />However, once again, thanks for the links - others dropping by may find them useful.André Robergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131391818998844540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9266717.post-41581258475946257522009-04-16T22:08:00.000-03:002009-04-16T22:08:00.000-03:00I'm not sure what qualifies a book for textbook st...I'm not sure what qualifies a book for textbook status, but here are some Python books:<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/" REL="nofollow">How to Think Like a Computer Scientist</A><A HREF="http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/python.html" REL="nofollow">Building Skills in Python</A><A HREF="http://diveintopython.org/" REL="nofollow">Dive into Python</A>Hank Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405417651021620361noreply@blogger.com
