Who this book is for

This book specifically targets people who are new to object-oriented programming. It assumes you have basic Python skills. You'll learn object-oriented principles in depth. It is particularly useful for system administrator types who have used Python as a "glue" language and would like to improve their programming skills.

If you are familiar with object-oriented programming in other languages, then this book will help you understand the idiomatic ways to apply your knowledge in the Python ecosystem.
