Klappentext
Design principles and patterns for building better Python software.
Great Python applications take advantage of established design principles and patterns that maximize performance, maintainability, and reliability. Software Design for Python Programmers shows you how to build on your Python coding skills by mastering the practices of great software design! Following intuitive "before" and "after" examples of improved code, you'll learn to plan and execute Python applications effectively and avoid bugs associated with unmanaged state, poorly-formed classes, inflexible functions, and more.
In Software Design for Python Programmers , you'll learn how to:
• Acquire and analyze application requirements
• Create well-designed applications through iterative development
• Design Python classes with high cohesion and loose coupling
• Implement Python decorators to enhance class properties, abstraction, and method functionality
• Apply industry-standard design principles to improve code structure and maintainability
• Identify appropriate design patterns to solve complex software design challenges
Software Design for Python Programmers teaches you to apply tried-and-tested object-oriented design principles to your Python code. The examples in this guide are simple, clear, and accessible. All examples are in Python, although most of the techniques will apply to any object-oriented language. You'll solve common architecture problems, and discover the "Pythonic" way to implement encapsulation, implementation-hiding, method overloading, and more.
About the book
Software Design for Python Programmers helps you build software like the pros. In clear, jargon-free language it lays out the object-oriented design principles, practices, and patterns that you need to know to build scalable and maintainable applications. Throughout, you'll find intuitive "before" and "after" examples that show you what bad code looks like, and how to fix it with the right pattern. Conversation sidebars feature engaging talking heads that ask-and-answer common questions. If you know the basics of Python code and are ready to make the leap to building software, this book will be the patient and insightful mentor you need!
About the reader
For programmers comfortable with Python syntax. No experience with object-oriented software design required.

Biografie
Ronald Mak was a senior computer scientist and software architect at the NASA Ames Research Center. He was the architect and lead developer of the middleware for the Collaborative Information Portal, an important enterprise software system that is a part of NASA's ongoing and highly successful Mars Exploration Rover mission. Mission managers, scientists, and engineers continue to use CIP--after over two years of continuous operation, it has an uptime record of better than 99.9 percent.Working as a key member of the CIP development teamvalidated the principles that Ron describes in this book.Ron was also the architect and lead developer of an enterprise class information portal for NASA's International Space Station and the future Crew Exploration Vehicle.Prior to joining NASA, Ron had over 15 years of experience designing and developing enterprise systems using several programming languages and technologies on various platforms.Most of these systems were highly successful, but therewere a few failures, too. The Martian principles are derivedfrom these experiences.Ron held an academic appointment with the University of California at Santa Cruz, and he worked on contract to NASAAmes. He earned his B.S. degree with distinction in the Mathematical Sciences and his M.S. degree in Computer Science from Stanford University.He has written three previous books on computer science, Java Number Cruncher, the Java Programmer's Guide to Numerical Computing (Prentice Hall PTR, 2003), Writing Compilers and Interpreters, C++ Edition (Wiley, 1996), and Writing Compilers and Interpreters, a Practical Approach (Wiley, 1991). He recently wrote several papers about CIP for refereed journals. He continues to hone his exposition of the Martian principles by giving presentations to both industry and academic audiences.Ron recently co-founded and is the CTO of Willard&Lowe Systems, Inc. (www.willardlowe.com) which develops enterprise systems for information management and collaboration.
