Mastering Python Design Patterns - Second Edition

By: Kamon Ayeva, Sakis Kasampalis

Overview of this book

Python is an object-oriented scripting language that is used in a wide range of categories. In software engineering, a design pattern is an elected solution for solving software design problems. Although they have been around for a while, design patterns remain one of the top topics in software engineering, and are a ready source for software developers to solve the problems they face on a regular basis. This book takes you through a variety of design patterns and explains them with real-world examples. You will get to grips with low-level details and concepts that show you how to write Python code, without focusing on common solutions as enabled in Java and C++. You'll also fnd sections on corrections, best practices, system architecture, and its designing aspects. This book will help you learn the core concepts of design patterns and the way they can be used to resolve software design problems. You'll focus on most of the Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns, which are used to solve everyday problems, and take your skills to the next level with reactive and functional patterns that help you build resilient, scalable, and robust applications. By the end of the book, you'll be able to effciently address commonly faced problems and develop applications, and also be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.

Microservices and Patterns for the Cloud

Traditionally, developers working on building a server-side application have been using a single code base and implementing all or most functionalities right there, using common development practices such as functions and classes, and design patterns such as the ones we have covered in this book so far. But, with the evolution of the IT industry, economic factors, and pressure for fast times to market and returns on investment, there is a constant need to improve the practices of engineering teams and ensure more reactivity and scalability with servers, service delivery, and operations. We need to learn about other useful patterns, not only object-oriented programming ones. In this chapter, we will cover the last part of our exploration, focused on Modern Architecture-style design patterns.
