Pro Python 3
Refine your programming techniques and approaches to become a more productive and creative Python programmer. This book explores the concepts and features that will improve not only your code but also your understanding of the Python community with insights and details about the Python philosophy.Pro Python 3, Third Edition gives you the tools to write clean, innovative code. It starts with a review of some core Python principles, which are illustrated by various concepts and examples later in the book. The first half of the book explores aspects of functions, classes, protocols, and strings, describing techniques which may not be common knowledge, but which together form a solid foundation. Later chapters cover documentation, testing, and app distribution. Along the way, you’ll develop a complex Python framework that incorporates ideas learned throughout the book.Updates in this edition include the role of iterators in Python 3, web scraping with Scrapy and BeautifulSoup, using Requests to call web pages without strings, new tools for distribution and installation, and much more. By the end of the book you'll be ready to deploy uncommon features that can take your skills to the next level in Python.What You’ll LearnImplement programs with various types of Python functionsWork with classes and object-oriented programmingUse strings from the standard library and third-party librariesHarvest web site data with PythonAutomate unit testing by writing a test suiteReview imaging, random number generation, and NumPy scientific extensionsUnderstand The Zen of Python documentation to help you decide the best way to distribute your codeWho This Book Is ForIntermediate programmers familiar with Python who are looking to move to an advanced level. You should have written at least a simple Python application, and be comfortable with a basic object-oriented approach, using the interactive interpreter, and writing control structures.

Programming Languages and Systems
The open access book set LNCS 16501 + LNCS 16502 constitutes the proceedings of the 35th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2026, which was held as part of the International Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2026, in Turin, Italy, during April 11-16, 2026.The 31 full papers included in the proceedings, together with one invited talk, were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. They deal with fundamental issues in the specification, design, analysis and implementation of programming languages and systems, such as programming paradigms and styles; methods and tools to write and specify programs and languages; methods and tools for reasoning about programs; programming systems design and implementation.

Blender Python API
Understand Blender's Python API to allow for precision 3D modeling and add-on development. Follow detailed guidance on how to create precise geometries, complex texture mappings, optimized renderings, and much more.This book is a detailed, user-friendly guide to understanding and using Blender’s Python API for programmers and 3D artists. Blender is a popular open source 3D modeling software used in advertising, animation, data visualization, physics simulation, photorealistic rendering, and more. Programmers can produce extremely complex and precise models that would be impossible to replicate by hand, while artists enjoy numerous new community-built add-ons.The Blender Python API is an unparalleled programmable visualization environment. Using the API is made difficult due to its complex object hierarchy and vast documentation. Understanding the Blender Python API clearly explains the interface. You will become familiar with data structures and low-level concepts in both modeling and rendering with special attention given to optimizing procedurally generated models. In addition, the book:Discusses modules of the API as analogs to human input modes in BlenderReviews low-level and data-level manipulation of 3D objects in Blender PythonDetails how to deploy and extend projects with external librariesProvides organized utilities of novel and mature API abstractions for general use in add-on developmentWhat You’ll LearnGenerate 3D data visualizations in Blender to better understand multivariate data and mathematical patterns.Create precision object models in Blender of architectural models, procedurally generated landscapes, atomic models, etc.Develop and distribute a Blender add-on, with special consideration given to careful development practicesPick apart Blender’s 3D viewport and Python source code to learn about API behaviorsDevelop a practical knowledge of 3D modeling and rendering conceptsHave a practical reference to an already powerful and vast APIWho This Book Is ForPython programmers with an interest in data science, game development, procedural generation, and open-source programming as well as programmers of all types with a need to generate precise 3D models. Also for 3D artists with an interest in programming or with programming experience and Blender artists regardless of programming experience.

Metaprogramming Elixir
Write code that writes code with Elixir macros. Macros make metaprogramming possible and define the language itself. In this book, you'll learn how to use macros to extend the language with fast, maintainable code and share functionality in ways you never thought possible. You'll discover how to extend Elixir with your own first-class features, optimize performance, and create domain-specific languages. Metaprogramming is one of Elixir's greatest features. Maybe you've played with the basics or written a few macros. Now you want to take it to the next level. This book is a guided series of metaprogramming tutorials that take you step by step to metaprogramming mastery. You'll extend Elixir with powerful features and write faster, more maintainable programs in ways unmatched by other languages. You'll start with the basics of Elixir's metaprogramming system and find out how macros interact with Elixir's abstract format. Then you'll extend Elixir with your own first-class features, write a testing framework, and discover how Elixir treats source code as building blocks, rather than rote lines of instructions.You'll continue your journey by using advanced code generation to create essential libraries in strikingly few lines of code. Finally, you'll create domain-specific languages and learn when and where to apply your skills effectively. When you're done, you will have mastered metaprogramming, gained insights into Elixir's internals, and have the confidence to leverage macros to their full potential in your own projects.
