This book is for those who are already comfortable with developing using Java programming language and therefore assumes knowledge of Java. Designed for Java engineers who want to learn Python, this book walks you through the differences between Java 8 and Python 2.7 syntax using examples from both languages. Specifically, the book will demonstrate how to perform the same procedures in Java and Python. For each procedure, the class names, method names, and variable names are kept consistent between Java and Python examples. This way you can see clearly the differences in syntax between the two languages. Using this approach, you will be up to speed with Python in no time.
