Unleash the power of Python 3 objects
Key Features
Book Description
Python 3 is more versatile and easier to use than ever. It runs on all
major platforms in a huge array of use cases. Coding in Python minimizes
development time and increases productivity in comparison to other
languages. Clean, maintainable code is easy to both read and write using
Python's clear, concise syntax.
Object-oriented programming is a popular design paradigm in which data
and behaviors are encapsulated in such a way that they can be
manipulated together. Many modern programming languages utilize the
powerful concepts behind object-oriented programming and Python is no
exception.
Starting with a detailed analysis of object-oriented analysis and
design, you will use the Python programming language to clearly grasp
key concepts from the object-oriented paradigm. This book fully explains
classes, data encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and
exceptions with an emphasis on when you can use each principle to
develop well-designed software.
You'll get an in-depth analysis of many common object-oriented design
patterns that are more suitable to Python's unique style. This book will
not just teach Python syntax, but will also build your confidence in how
to program.
You will also learn how to create maintainable applications by studying
higher level design patterns. Following this, you'll learn the
complexities of string and file manipulation, and how Python
distinguishes between binary and textual data. Not one, but two very
powerful automated testing systems will be introduced in the book. After
you discover the joy of unit testing and just how easy it can be, you'll
study higher level libraries such as database connectors and GUI
toolkits and learn how they uniquely apply object-oriented principles.
You'll learn how these principles will allow you to make greater use of
key members of the Python eco-system such as Django and Kivy.
This new edition includes all the topics that made Python 3
Object-oriented Programming an instant Packt classic. It's also packed
with updated content to reflect recent changes in the core Python
library and covers modern third-party packages that were not available
on the Python 3 platform when the book was first published.
