Twisted Network Programming Essentials. Event-driven Network Programming with Python. 2nd Edition

Get started with Twisted, the event-driven networking framework written in Python. With this introductory guide, you’ll learn the key concepts and design patterns to build event-driven client and server applications for many popular networking protocols.

• Along the way, you can play with and extend examples of common tasks you’ll face when building network applications.

You’ll also learn the tools to build new protocols using Twisted’s primitives.Start by building basic TCP clients and servers, and then focus on deploying production-grade applications with the Twisted Application infrastructure. If you’re familiar with Python, you’re ready for Twisted.Learn the core components of Twisted servers and clientsWrite asynchronous code with the Deferred APIConstruct HTTP servers with Twisted’s high-level web APIsUse the Agent API to develop flexible web clientsConfigure and deploy Twisted services in a robust and standardized fashionAccess databases using Twisted’s nonblocking interfaceAdd common server components: logging, authentication, threads and processes, and testingExplore ways to build clients and servers for IRC, popular mail protocols, and SSH
