I have learnt Python for about a month as a one year’s PHPer.And I started from Twisted as I’m working in a corporation supplying webservice.I have finished some simple application such as data transferring service,page images-fetch service etc.But the problem is ,I don’t understand the struture of codes I wrote in the programs quite well .Every time I have to write codes by watching an example.And my question is ,should I just try to remember the example code’s strutures?Or try to understand them?Suggestions would be very appreciated.
Regards
Just “remembering” the code structure isn’t all that much extra value with respect to simply looking it up (just make yourself a handy repository of the examples you’re using) — rote memorization, while once a popular thing to force students to do, isn’t all that useful.
Understanding is, of course, much better… but, I know no “royal road” to it, either in general or for Twisted in particular. Maybe try Fettig’s book — not a masterpiece, it has three stars on Amazon and it may deserve about 3.5 or so — but quite a reasonable investment of your money and time, IMHO. To get better understanding of Python — quite apart from Twisted — you’re better placed — Dive into Python is a masterpiece, and you can freely download it (if you really love paper books you can also buy the paper edition). Has 4.5 stars on Amazon and deserves them!
