Clean Code in Python: Develop maintainable and efficient code, 2nd Edition Clean Code in Python: Develop maintainable and efficient code, 2nd Edition Paperback Kindle

What are the key takeaways from your book? 

Clean code isn’t about styling or formatting the code. It’s about building a code base that’s maintainable and easy to work with. This is a very important topic in software engineering because it touches on different aspects, such as design patterns, testability (and different kinds of automated tests), and principles of object-oriented design.

One of the main ideas proposed in the book is the importance of constantly analyzing the solution you’re building and asking questions like ‘how maintainable is this solution?’, ‘are we creating new problems for ourselves in the future?’, and ‘when requirements, or external dependencies change, will my code be able to adapt to that new reality?’. The ability to answer these questions is where the true essence of good software engineering lies.

The book provides you with the tools and concepts you need to understand what clean code means beyond any definitions given. It’s a pragmatic, practitioner-oriented book, so I’ve specially focused on how to get things done in an effective way, which often means accepting tradeoffs.
