I received a review copy of Brandon Rhodes' Foundations of Python
Network Programming from Apress a few weeks ago, but had to wait to
read it until my own book was complete. I finished reading it this
weekend, and it was worth the wait.
Quick Review
Inspired by Gene Ambaum and Bill Barnes' review short-cuts, this is my review for the
impatient reader.
Why I picked it up: I know Brandon through PyATL and was
confident that his years of experience would ensure that he put out a
high quality book. He more than met my expectations.
Why I finished it: The conversational tone made it easy to zip
through the sections covering material I was familiar with, saving
more time to study the rest more completely.
I'd give it to: Any Python programmer who wants a better
understanding of the fundamentals of network programming. Even an
experienced Python programmer will learn a few new tricks from the
sections covering more modern tools like ZeroMQ and paramiko.
