About This Book
- Learn all about abstract design patterns and how to implement them in Python 3
- Understand the structural, creational, and behavioral Python design patterns
- Get to know the context and application of design patterns to solve real-world problems
- in software architecture, design, and application development
- Discover how to simplify Design Pattern implementation using the power of Python 3
Who This Book Is For
If you have basic Python skills and wish to learn in depth how to
correctly apply appropriate design patterns, this course is tailor made
for you.
What You Will Learn
- Discover what design patterns are and how to apply them to writing Python
- Implement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methods
- Separate related objects into a taxonomy of classes and describe the
properties and behaviors of those objects via the class interface
- Understand when to use object-oriented features, and more importantly when not to use them
- Get to know proven solutions to common design issues
- Explore the design principles that form the basis of software
design, such as loose coupling, the Hollywood principle, and the Open
Close principle, among others
- Use Structural Design Patterns and find out how objects and classes interact to build larger applications
- Improve the productivity and code base of your application using Python design patterns
- Secure an interface using the Proxy pattern
In Detail
Python is an object-oriented scripting language that is
used in everything from data science to web development. Known for its
simplicity, Python increases productivity and minimizes development
time. Through applying essential software engineering design patterns to
Python, Python code becomes even more efficient and reusable from
project to project.
This learning path takes you through every traditional and advanced
design pattern best applied to Python code, building your skills in
writing exceptional Python. Divided into three distinct modules, you’ll
go from foundational to advanced concepts by following a series of
practical tutorials.
Start with the bedrock of Python programming – the object-oriented
paradigm. Rethink the way you work with Python as you work through the
Python data structures and object-oriented techniques essential to
modern Python programming. Build your confidence as you learn Python
syntax, and how to use OOP principles with Python tools such as Django
and Kivy.
In the second module, run through the most common and most useful
design patterns from a Python perspective. Progress through Singleton
patterns, Factory patterns, Façade patterns and more all with detailed
hands-on guidance. Enhance your professional abilities in in software
architecture, design, and development.
In the final module, run through the more complex and less common
design patterns, discovering how to apply them to Python coding with the
help of real-world examples. Get to grips with the best practices of
writing Python, as well as creating systems architecture and
troubleshooting issues.
