This book is for Python programmers with an intermediate background and an interest in design patterns implemented in idiomatic Python. Programmers of other languages who are interested in Python can also benefit from this book, but it would be better if they first read some introductory materials that explain how things are done in Python.
What you will learn
Explore Factory Method and Abstract Factory for object creation
Clone objects using the Prototype pattern
Make incompatible interfaces compatible using the Adapter pattern
Secure an interface using the Proxy pattern
Choose an algorithm dynamically using the Strategy pattern
Extend an object without subclassing using the Decorator pattern
Keep the logic decoupled from the UI using the MVC pattern
