Key Features

    Book Description

    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
