Programowanie zorientowane obiektowo w Pythonie. Tworzenie solidnych i łatwych w utrzymaniu aplikacji i bibliotek. Wydanie IV

Steven F. Lott, Dusty Phillips

Python zasłużenie cieszy się ogromną popularnością. To język, który może służyć do wielu celów, szczególnie do szybkiego tworzenia niewielkich, wyspecjalizowanych programów. Projektowanie bardziej rozbudowanego, wyrafinowanego oprogramowania też jest możliwe, wymaga jednak zdobycia kilku ważnych umiejętności. Bardzo dobrym pomysłem okazuje się zastosowanie w programowaniu w Pythonie podejścia zorientowanego obiektowo. Tak tworzony kod jest czytelny, solidny, łatwy w rozbudowie i o wiele efektywniejszy w działaniu. Oto przyjazny przewodnik dla programistów Pythona, wyczerpująco wyjaśniający wiele zagadnień programowania obiektowego, takich jak dziedziczenie, kompozycja, polimorfizm, tworzenie klas i struktur danych. W książce szczegółowo omówiono zagadnienia obsługi wyjątków, testowania kodu i zastosowania technik programowania funkcyjnego. Opisano też dwa potężne zautomatyzowane systemy testowe: unittest i pytest. Zaprezentowano tematykę utrzymania złożonego oprogramowania napisanego w sposób zorientowany obiektowo, a także podano wskazówki odnoszące się do jego rozbudowy. Ważną częścią przewodnika jest omówienie zasad programowania współbieżnego we współczesnym Pythonie. Co ważne, poszczególne zagadnienia zostały zilustrowane diagramami UML, czytelnymi przykładami i studiami przypadków. W książce między innymi: kiedy korzystać z technik obiektowych implementacja obiektów i mechanizmu dziedziczenia w Pythonie stosowanie wyjątków, a także tworzenie testów jednostkowych i integracyjnych ważniejsze wzorce projektowe i ich implementacja w Pythonie statyczne typowanie dynamicznego kodu programowanie współbieżne przy użyciu asyncio Chcesz tworzyć solidny kod?

Python 3 Object-oriented Programming. Building robust and maintainable software with object oriented design patterns in Python

Dusty Phillips

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.

Python 3 Object Oriented Programming. If you feel it’s time you learned object-oriented programming techniques, this is the perfect book for you. Clearly written with practical exercises, it’s the painless way to learn how to harness the power of OOP in Python

Dusty Phillips

Object Oriented Programming is a very important aspect of modern programming languages. The basic principles of Object Oriented Programming are relatively easy to learn. Putting them together into working designs can be challenging.This book makes programming more of a pleasure than a chore using powerful Python 3 object-oriented features of Python 3. It clearly demonstrates the core OOP principles and how to correctly implement OOP in Python. Object Oriented Programming ranks high in importance among the many models Python supports. Yet, many programmers never bother learning the powerful features that make this language object oriented.The book teaches when and how OOP should be correctly applied. It emphasizes not only the simple syntax of OOP in Python, but also how to combine these objects into well-designed software.This book will introduce you to the terminology of the object-oriented paradigm, focusing on object-oriented design with step-by-step examples. It will take you from simple inheritance, one of the most useful tools in the object-oriented programmer's toolbox, all the way through to cooperative inheritance, one of the most complicated. You will be able to raise, handle, define, and manipulate exceptions.You will be able to integrate the object-oriented and the not-so-object-oriented aspects of Python. You will also be able to create maintainable applications by studying higher level design patterns. 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 to you. You'll understand the joy of unit testing and just how easy they are to create. You'll even study higher level libraries such as database connectors and GUI toolkits and how they apply object-oriented principles.
