Ensure your code is sleek, efficient and elegant by mastering powerful Python design patterns

About This BookLearn all about abstract design patterns and how to implement them in Python 3Understand the structural, creational, and behavioral Python design patternsGet to know the context and application of design patterns to solve real-world problems in software architecture, design, and application developmentDiscover how to simplify Design Pattern implementation using the power of Python 3Who 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 LearnDiscover what design patterns are and how to apply them to writing PythonImplement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methodsSeparate related objects into a taxonomy of classes and describe the properties and behaviors of those objects via the class interfaceUnderstand when to use object-oriented features, and more importantly when not to use themGet to know proven solutions to common design issuesExplore the design principles that form the basis of software design, such as loose coupling, the Hollywood principle, and the Open Close principle, among othersUse Structural Design Patterns and find out how objects and classes interact to build larger applicationsImprove the productivity and code base of your application using Python design patternsSecure an interface using the Proxy patternIn 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, Facade 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.
