Python Programming with Patterns

Improve Students Python Code with Modern Object-Oriented Patterns To write clean, efficient, maintainable code, developers everywhere turn to patterns. Now there‘s a Python-specific patterns guide that‘s friendly and practical enough for every Python developer, regardless of experience. Best-selling patterns author James W. Cooper presents visual, example-driven explanations of 23 proven patterns for writing superior object-oriented code. Through clear and intuitive code samples, he introduces modern techniques for creating Python objects that interact effectively in powerful, flexible programs. Python newcomersincluding those moving from other languageswill find a succinct introduction ed to get them up to speed fast. Cooper‘s wide-ranging patterns coverage addresses abstract classes, multiple inheritance, GUI programming and widgets, graphical classes, drawing and plotting, math, databases, Python decorators, images, threads, iterators, creating executable code, and more. Throughout, his informal visual presentation makes patterns far easier to work withso students can confidently build sophisticated programs that use Python‘s rich capabilities. Review the essentials of Python objects and visual programming Learn what patterns are, and how they help to write better code Use creational patterns to enhance flexibility and avoid unnecessary complexity Apply structural patterns to ensure that program elements work together well in large programs Optimize communication between objects with behavioral patterns
