## Read Dive Into Python

This book is still being written. The first three chapters are a solid overview of Python programming. Chapters covering HTML processing and unit testing are complete, and chapters covering XML processing and regression testing are in progress. Future chapters will cover web services with XML-RPC, web scripting with Apache and mod_python, and performance tuning. This is not a teaser site for some larger work for sale; all new content will be published here, for free, as soon as it's ready. You can read the revision history to see what's new.
