9781785889196 English 1785889192 Learn the art of developing better applications with PythonAbout This Book* Get to grips with Python techniques that address commonly encountered problems in general application development* Develop, package, and deploy efficient applications in a fun way* A practical guide to many significant areas of application development including best practices, exception handling, testing, refactoring, design patterns, performance, GUI and web application development.Who This Book Is For* Do you know basics of Python and object oriented programming (OOP)?* Do you wish to go an extra mile and learn techniques to make your Python application robust, extensible and efficient?* This book is for you if you answered 'yes' to both these questions. It is also for those with a different programming background (like C++ or Java) and wish to get to grips with Python application development. This book is not for you if: * You are completely new to Python or do not have any background in OOP. The first chapter covers some basics but further understanding will be needed.* You are looking for a reference on Web or GUI or database applications. This book does not cover such domain specific topics. However, you will learn several key aspects of general application development.What You Will Learn* Build a robust application by handling exceptions* Modularize, package, and release the source distribution* Document the code and implement coding standards* Create automated tests to catch bugs in the early development stage* Identify and re-factor badly written code to improve application life* Detect recurring problems in the code and apply design patterns* Improve code efficiency by identifying performance bottlenecks and fixing them* Develop intuitive GUI and web applicationsIn DetailPython is one of the most widely used dynamic programming languages. It supports a rich set of packages, GUI and web frameworks that enable rapid development of cross-platform applications. Such fast paced development often comes with its own baggage that could bring down the overall quality, performance and extensibility of the application. This book will show you ways to handle such situations and help you develop better Python applications.Starting with a simple application, the book takes you all the way through designing and developing robust and efficient applications. It touches upon several important areas of software development in an accessible, fun way.The book uses a fictional game theme as a vehicle to explain various concepts. This fun journey begins by developing a simple command-line application. The complexities added in subsequent chapters pose interesting practical problems. It further shows how to address those problems.Each chapter targets a different aspect of application development. A few initial ones focus on software robustness, packaging and releasing the application code.The next few chapters are about improving the application lifetime by making the code extensible, reusable and readable. You will learn about refactoring, design patterns, documentation and best practices.Techniques to identify the bottlenecks and improve performance are covered in a series of three chapters devoted to performance., Take Python beyond scripting to build robust, reusable, and efficient applicationsAbout This Book- Get to grips with Python techniques that address commonly encountered problems in general application development.- Develop, package, and deploy efficient applications in a fun way.- All-practical coverage of the major areas of application development, including best practices, exception handling, testing, refactoring, design patterns, performance, and GUI application development.Who This Book Is ForDo you know the basics of Python and object oriented programming?

But fast paced development often comes with its own baggage that could bring down the quality, performance, and extensibility of an application. This book will show you ways to handle such problems and write better Python applications.From the basics of simple command-line applications, develop your skills all the way to designing efficient and advanced Python apps. Guided by a light-hearted fantasy learning theme, overcome the real-world problems of complex Python development with practical solutions. Beginning with a focus on robustness, packaging, and releasing application code, you'll move on to focus on improving application lifetime by making code extensible, reusable, and readable. Get to grips with Python refactoring, design patterns and best practices. Techniques to identify the bottlenecks and improve performance are covered in a series of chapters devoted to performance, before closing with a look at developing Python GUIs.Style and approachThe book uses a fantasy game theme as a medium to explain various topics. Specific aspects of application development are explained in different chapters. In each chapter the reader is presented with an interesting problem which is then tackled using hands-on examples with easy-to-follow instructions.
