Just what I needed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

I think it was pretty excellent. Very much applicable to where I'm at with Python today and taking my coding to the next level.

I got a ton of insight with this book. It really brought to light how magic methods can be used to develop things like Pandas. It opened my eyes to how awesome decorators can be!

The classes section, logging, and testing were awesome. I need to go back over the book again and work thru some of the techniques that are talked about so I can get used to using them every day.

I currently do a lot of implementation work with data and SQL Server. Anything outside of SQL that I do, I do in Python. A problem for me has been that I get so many odd type jobs that my code is pretty spread out across a broad range of functionality. I've been wanting to stream line it, and write my code in a way that it can scale up.

At my job, I'm writing, testing, implementing, and maintaining my own Python code. I don't get code reviews, and so it's hard to know if I'm writing good code or not cause I'm not getting that critique from my betters.

I think you have definitely given me some broad ideas on being able to scale, and some things that I should strive for in my code.

This book taught me a great deal and was enjoyable to read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been developing with Python for 5-6 years and considered myself well versed in the language. This book taught me a great deal and was enjoyable to read. The complex patterns are explained well with enough detail to understand but not too much to confuse the reader. After having the book for one day I recommended it to my team and will make it required reading for our interns and junior devs.

Note: I purchased this book and did not receive anything for this review.

Too basic while claiming the opposite

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

TL;DR You probably know 99% of things covered in this book if you did back-end Python for more than 2 years.

What I expected to find: python-specific design patterns, performance optimization tips, complex flows and DB/concurrency tips. That’s what experienced Python developers usually struggle with and definitely will use some help/tips/guides.

Instead this book starts and ends with rudimentary “trainee -> junior” language-specific features documentation. Like using generators/decorators/logging and writing basic tests.

Not that this book is bad, I did found a couple of minor things I have not used previously, but it definitely not lives up to “patterns & development strategies” mentioned in the title.

Overall I found the book useful. The author presents the material clearly and with the right amount of detail--enough to gain a working understanding but still moving fast enough to keep things interesting. My main criticism is that the book is quite short, so depending on how familiar you are with the topics already, you may not find it to be a good value.

This is among the best books available for taking your python skills to the next level.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2017

I have read many books on python programming in a quest to find intermediate level instruction. I feel there are very few books which offer the sort of insights needed to really improve skills. This is one of the few I can highly recommend for those who are struggling to achieve intermediate skill in python. The author clearly has a mastery of the topic and has an ability to convey it in and understandable way.

I wish all technical books could be this good. As an instructor and researcher, I read dozens a year and this is pure platinum. Thanks, Aaron!

Move to this book if you already master the basics

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

There are very few books that can bridge the gap between basics and advanced level and this is one of them. If you already feel comfortable with lists, dictionaries and all the basics, this book will take you to the next level. However, I would recommend reading this book AND using your python interpreter to repeat all the examples in the book and lastly make some notes like writing down a code snippet so you can always remember and don't need to read it all over again.

If you have enough basics of python, this should be you next read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 21, 2018

This is really good for intermediate python programmer, who have masters on basics and looking for new ideas on various new modules and features out in python. Also Author explains few gotchas and secrets from the woods to make you a sound python pro.

A great book that will help in real world production level programming

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Excellent book. I found the explanation of some complex topics very easy to understand. An example of this are the chapters on decorators and testing. I would recommend this book to anybody who already knows python and wants to take it to the next level. While they are other books in the market that have more detail, the selling point of this book is that it is simple yet highly effective. The author shares a lot of best practices used in the real world which I’ve noticed that a lot of books leave out.

Ottimo libro , Python spiegato finalmente in modo avanzato e approfondito, non è adatto ai principianti. Bisogna avere delle basi.
