GSoC - week 2 of interim period


This week I have mainly been reading up the Astroquery code base as well as relevant portions of Astropy. I also looked up on some advanced Python techniques like decorators, descriptors, generators and context managers and OOP done via Python. I found some really helpful resources on the web, I will just list them here:

This is definitely a must read:
http://python.net/~goodger/projects/pycon/2007/idiomatic/handout.html

http://www.pgbovine.net/python-idioms.htm

This may require a sign in but it has some really good links:
https://www.udacity.com/wiki/cs212/python_learning_aids

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecoratorLibrary#Property_Definition

And also an ebook:
http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/programming_books/python_programming/

Finally the best compilation of all python aspects at one place - The Hitchhiker's  guide to Python!:
http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/

Also the API for Astroquery is almost finalized! And the revised version may be found here:
http://astroquery.readthedocs.org/en/latest/astroquery/api.html

Thats all for now!
