By: Kamon Ayeva, Kasampalis, Sakis Kasampalis

Overview of this book

As software systems become increasingly complex, maintaining code quality, scalability, and efficiency can be a daunting challenge. Mastering Python Design Patterns is an essential resource that equips you with the tools you need to overcome these hurdles and create robust, scalable applications. The book delves into design principles and patterns in Python, covering both classic and modern patterns, and apply them to solve daily challenges as a Python developer or architect. Co-authored by two Python experts with a combined experience of three decades, this new edition covers creational, structural, behavioral, and architectural patterns, including concurrency, asynchronous, and performance patterns. You'll find out how these patterns are relevant to various domains, such as event handling, concurrency, distributed systems, and testing. Whether you're working on user interfaces (UIs), web apps, APIs, data pipelines, or AI models, this book equips you with the knowledge to build robust and maintainable software. The book also presents Python anti-patterns, helping you avoid common pitfalls and ensuring your code remains clean and efficient. By the end of this book, you'll be able to confidently apply classic and modern Python design patterns to build robust, scalable applications.

Foundational Design Principles

Design principles form the foundation of any well-architected software. They serve as the guiding light that helps developers navigate the path of creating maintainable, scalable, and robust applications while avoiding the pitfalls of bad design.

In this chapter, we will explore the core design principles that all developers should know and apply in their projects. We will explore four foundational principles. The first one, Encapsulate What Varies, teaches you how to isolate the parts of your code that are subject to change, making it easier to modify and extend your applications. Next, Favor Composition, makes you understand why it’s often better to assemble complex objects from simple ones rather than inheriting functionalities. The third one, Program to Interfaces, shows the power of coding to an interface rather than to a concrete class, enhancing flexibility and maintainability. Finally, with the Loose Coupling principle, you will grasp...
