The Quick Python Book
Author: Kenneth McDonald
This clear and concise introduction to the Python language is aimed at readers who are already familiar with programming in at least one other language.

This book first introduces the core features of the Python programming language: syntax, control flow, and basic data structures. Then, it discusses Python features useful in larger applications, such as managing large collections of code, object- oriented programming, and advanced string handling. The concluding chapters on special topics were contributed by Python experts including the inventor of the language. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

A lot of time was put into not just teaching a language but also showing how it interacts with the operating system and what one can do with it...I highly recommend it for the beginning and intermediate Python audience. It is the best book I have seen for getting beginners up to speed.

Code Generation in Action
Author: Jack Herrington
Covering techniques and implementation for building code for complex applications frameworks, this book demonstrates how to build high quality output that is consistent and maintainable. Within this framework lessons on abstracting the design of the code so that multiple outputs can be created from a single abstract model of the application functionality is provided. Techniques that range from simple code processors that handle common coding problems to more elaborate and complex generators that maintain entire application tiers are covered. Topics such as building database access, user interface, remote procedure, test cases, and business logic code, as well as code for other system functions are also addressed. Although code generation is an engineering technique it also has an impact at the engineering team and managerial levels. As such, this book covers this non-technical aspect of code generation in depth.
Developers using code generation are producing higher quality code faster than their hand-coding counterparts. And, they enjoy other advantages like maintainability, consistency and abstraction. Using the new CG methods they can make a change in one place, avoiding multiple synchronized changes you must make by hand.
Code Generation in Action shows you the techniques of building and using programs to write other programs. It shows how to avoid repetition and error to produce consistent, high quality code, and how to maintain it more easily. It demonstrates code generators for user interfaces, database access, remote procedure access, and much more.
Code Generation in Action is an A-to-Z guide covering building, buying, deploying and using code generators. If you are a software engineer-whether beginner or advanced-eager to become the "ideas person," the mover-and-shaker on your development team, you should learn CG techniques. This book will help you master them.
