About this title

Synopsis

What You Will Learn in This Book

• Grasp the fundamental principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), including objects, classes, encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism, and understand why they are crucial for modern software development.
• Master Python's syntax for defining and using classes and objects, effectively managing instance and class attributes, and implementing various types of methods (instance, class, and static).
• Implement data protection and information hiding through effective encapsulation strategies, including the use of properties and understanding Python's attribute access conventions.
• Simplify complex systems using abstraction, learning to design clear class interfaces and leveraging Abstract Base Classes (ABCs) to enforce design contracts.
• Build robust and reusable code hierarchies with inheritance, understanding single, multiple, and multilevel inheritance, method overriding, and the proper use of super().
• Apply polymorphism to create flexible and extensible code, utilizing Python's duck typing and method overriding to allow objects of different types to respond to the same interface.
• Leverage Python's powerful special methods (dunder methods) to customize object behavior, enabling features like operator overloading, custom string representations, iteration, and context management.
• Streamline class creation and reduce boilerplate using modern Python features like dataclasses, namedtuple, and __slots__ for improved code readability and performance.
• Implement effective error handling strategies by understanding Python's exception model and creating custom exception hierarchies for more specific and maintainable error management.
• Recognize and apply essential OOP design patterns (Creational, Structural, and Behavioral) to solve common software design problems, fostering scalable and maintainable architectures.
• Develop practical, real-world object-oriented applications through guided case studies, demonstrating how to apply OOP principles to build e-commerce systems, games, and data pipelines.
• Write high-quality, testable OOP code by applying unit testing methodologies using unittest and pytest, including techniques for testing class interactions and TDD.
• Adhere to industry-standard OOP best practices such as the SOLID principles, DRY, KISS, and YAGNI, along with guidelines for writing clean, readable, and refactorable object-oriented Python code.
• Explore advanced Python OOP concepts like metaclasses and descriptors to gain a deeper understanding of Python's object model and empower highly customizable designs.
