Python Programming Patterns (Paperback)

The goal of this book is to prepare readers to write medium to large size programs in Python - by this we mean containing thousands of lines of codes. This book will teach both the Python programming language and large-scale programming using object-oriented techniques.

The real-world guide to enterprise-class Python development!Enterprise development with Python!20+ object-oriented patterns for large-scale Python developmentMaximizing scalability, robustness, and reuseLeveraging modularization, toolkits, frameworks, metaprogramming, and morePython isn't just a tool for creating short Web scripts and simple prototypes: its advantages are equally compelling in large-scale development. In "Python Programming Patterns," Thomas Christopher shows developers the best ways to write large programs with Python, introducing powerful design patterns that deliver unprecedented levels of robustness, scalability, and reuse. Christopher teaches both the Python programming language and how to "program in the large" with Python, using objects, modularization, toolkits, frameworks, and other powerful tools and techniques. 20+ proven object-oriented patterns for large-scale Python development: creational, structural, and behavioralLeverage the skills you've mastered in other object-oriented languagesDesign Python systems for maximum reuseCreate cleaner, more comprehensible software systemsMake the most of persistence, concurrent programming, functional programming, and metaprogramming Includes extensive working code and meaningful examplesIf you've ever thought it would be great to use Python in real enterprise development, you're about to learn how--with "Python Programming Patterns"!
