BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN NOVICE AND PROFESSIONAL
You've completed a basic Python programming tutorial or finished Al Sweigart's
best selling Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. What's the next step
toward becoming a capable, confident software developer?
Welcome to Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python. More than a mere collection of
advanced syntax and masterful tips for writing clean code, you'll learn how to
advance your Python programming skills by using the command line and other
professional tools like code formatters, type checkers, linters, and version
control. Sweigart takes you through best practices for setting up your
development environment, naming variables, and improving readability, then
tackles documentation, organization and performance measurement, as well as
object-oriented design and the Big-O algorithm analysis commonly used in
coding interviews. The skills you learn will boost your ability to program—not
just in Python but in any language.
You'll learn:
Coding style, and how to use Python's Black auto-formatting tool for cleaner
code
Common sources of bugs, and how to detect them with static analyzers
How to structure the files in your code projects with the Cookiecutter
template tool
Functional programming techniques like lambda and higher-order functions
How to profile the speed of your code with Python's built-in timeit and
cProfile modules
The computer science behind Big-O algorithm analysis
How to make your comments and docstrings informative, and how often to write
them
How to create classes in object-oriented programming, and why they're used to
organize code
Toward the end of the book you'll read a detailed source-code breakdown of two
classic command-line games, the Tower of Hanoi (a logic puzzle) and Four-in-a-
Row (a two-player tile-dropping game), and a breakdown of how their code
follows the book's best practices. You'll test your skills by implementing the
program yourself.
Of course, no single book can make you a professional software developer. But
Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python will get you further down that path and
make you a better programmer in the process as you learn to write readable
code that's easy to debug and perfectly Pythonic.
