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

Artisan object transactions

The processes for sending Artisan object messages will not deviate significantly from the examples shown previously for Product objects. The creation and transmission of create and update messages will typically follow a structure that looks something like this:

# - Typical create-object message-creation and -transmission
create_message = DaemonMessage(
    'create', object_to_create.to_message_data(), signing_key
)
sender = RabbitMQSender()
sender.send_message(create_message)

# - Typical update-object message-creation and -transmission
update_message = DaemonMessage(
    'update', object_to_update.to_message_data(), signing_key
)
sender = RabbitMQSender()
sender.send_message(update_message)

Deletion messages, depending on what decision is made regarding sending the full object dataset, or just the required oid value,...
