[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8679996-python-3-object-oriented-programming):
|
|
|
|
|
The book begins with the very foundations of OOP and then uses practical
|
|
|
|
|
examples to show how to correctly implement Object Oriented Programming in
|
|
|
|
|
Python. Many examples are taken from real-world projects. The book focuses on
|
|
|
|
|
high-level design as well as the gritty details of the Python syntax. The
|
|
|
|
|
provided exercises inspire the reader to think about his or her own code,
|
|
|
|
|
rather than providing solved problems. If you're new to Object Oriented
|
|
|
|
|
Programming techniques, or if you have basic Python skills and wish to learn
|
|
|
|
|
in depth how and when to correctly apply Object Oriented Programming in
|
|
|
|
|
Python, this is the book for you. If you are an object-oriented programmer for
|
|
|
|
|
other languages, you too will find this book a useful introduction to Python,
|
|
|
|
|
as it uses terminology you are already familiar with. Python 2 programmers
|
|
|
|
|
seeking a leg up in the new world of Python 3 will also find the book
|
|
|
|
|
beneficial, and you need not necessarily know Python 2.

After a bunch of titles from Packt, I expected something that would be half
|
|
|
|
|
OO, half Python 3. But I got a very happy surprise reading the book because it
|
|
|
|
|
does really go intro OO, explaining from analysis to design to code and then
|
|
|
|
|
slowly dwelving into Python around those topics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not only that, but instead of simply assuming his position is right, the
|
|
|
|
|
author explores other possibilites and than moves back when something doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
work -- kinda like _Robert C. Martin_ does in _Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile
|
|
|
|
|
Software Craftsmanship_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the end, even after I work with Python for 5+ years, I still learnt a few
|
|
|
|
|
more things about using Python for OO development (and really got in agreement
|
|
|
|
|
with the author when OO isn't necessary!)
