Hands-On Software Engineering with Python

By: Brian Allbee, Nimesh Verma

Overview of this book

Software Engineering is about more than just writing code—it includes a host of soft skills that apply to almost any development effort, no matter what the language, development methodology, or scope of the project. Being a senior developer all but requires awareness of how those skills, along with their expected technical counterparts, mesh together through a project's life cycle. This book walks you through that discovery by going over the entire life cycle of a multi-tier system and its related software projects. You'll see what happens before any development takes place, and what impact the decisions and designs made at each step have on the development process. The development of the entire project, over the course of several iterations based on real-world Agile iterations, will be executed, sometimes starting from nothing, in one of the fastest growing languages in the world—Python. Application of practices in Python will be laid out, along with a number of Python-specific capabilities that are often overlooked. Finally, the book will implement a high-performance computing solution, from first principles through complete foundation.

Programming versus Software Engineering

Traffic to and from the service

The message-receiving aspect of the communication chain by the service is already in place, in the main method of ArtisanGateway, but no message-sending functionality has been implemented yet, apart from the bits and pieces focused around message generation. Each data object type, when modified, created, or deleted, is going to need to send a relevant command message to its counterpart subsystem. For example, if an Artisan creates a new Product, the act of creating that Product object needs to send a "create product" message to the Gateway service. Likewise, if a change is made to a Product by Central Office staff, the Gateway service needs to send an "update product" message to the appropriate Artisan Application instance.

On the Artisan Application side of those scenarios, all of the queue parameters needed to send...
