Advanced Python for Biologists is a programming course for workers in biology and bioinformatics who want to develop their programming skills. It starts with the basic Python knowledge outlined in Python for Biologists and introduces advanced Python tools and techniques with biological examples. You'll learn: - How to use object-oriented programming to model biological entities - How to write more robust code and programs by using Python's exception system - How to test your code using the unit testing framework - How to transform data using Python's comprehensions - How to write flexible functions and applications using functional programming - How to use Python's iteration framework to extend your own object and functions Advanced Python for Biologists is written with an emphasis on practical problem-solving and uses everyday biological examples throughout. Each section contains exercises along with solutions and detailed discussion.

Fantasic Python resource

I am a network engineer, so at first glance you might wonder why would a network engineer purchase a Python
book that has Python for Biologists as its focus. Well, technique transcends all else, and the author does a *great* job
on the topics covered in this book. The entire book, as I like to say, was "Money!". Chapter 2, 3, 4 and 7 particularly struck a cord,
but the entire book is simply well done. Oh, and I downloaded the the code samples from the authors web site, and I'll be damned if every single one I have run (in PyCharm) didn't work perfectly. This book is just straight up excellent. I admit I had trouble with the biological syntax (at first), but
technique is technique, and I have been able to apply some of the authors techniques\teachings in my own network engineering oriented code.

Exceedingly clear and rife with examples. The author talks about a rather dull subject (let's face it--learning programming for the first or even the second time can be quite tedious) in a clear and informative manner.

The Teaching Style is Unique

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016

I was introduced to the work of Dr. Martin while using his book Python for Biologists Python for Biologists: A complete programming course for beginners in my pursuit of learning to code. My purpose is to be able to interpret genetic data with Python. I was able to move through the first book at an accelerated pace but I had to slow down while progressing through Advanced Python for Biologists. The topics are covered in depth (which is a great thing) and I think I dont have an affinity to learn coding (so I have to try hard). Dr. Martin teaches about Classes, recursion, functional and object oriented python, and most especially about handling errors. One of the sections of the book that I enjoyed most was the one on iterators, generators, and comprehension. I like the idea of condensing code - turning longer 'for' loops into single lines of code.
One of the strongest points: all of the code examples in the book are biologically oriented (dealing with sequences and genomic data) so this is very very practical if you are at the crossroad of programming and biology.

dr martin review

i recognized I had to slow things a bit down to understand classes and how callin the self
works. one of the concepts that I understood best was list comprehension because
dr martine did an excellent job describing it and providing proof of concepts. I may
also have understand this better because of crossing over it in a few other books that
Im reading on python.

Tolles Buch!

Das Buch kam pünktlich an und war in super Zustand.
Schon beim ersten Durchblättern fiel mir auf, dass es genau das richtige für mich ist.
Dieses Buch ist optimal für biologisch/biochemisch gebildete Leute, die sich schon ausreichend mit Python auseinandergesetzt haben und vorhaben, bioinformatische Fragestellungen zu bearbeiten.
Klare Kaufempfehlung!
