Status Updates From Clean Code in Python: Refac...

Very good so far

Definitely better than Clean Code.

Got to know mypy, pytype, coala, black, yapf tooling.

I liked black and auto-formatting code in CI pipeline. Besides Makefile that makes more sense to have in the project. I am enjoying the chapters.

“For decades of using the term programming languages, we thought that they were meant to communicate our ideas to machines so they can run our programs. We were wrong. That's not the truth, but part of the truth. The real meaning of the "language" part of "programming languages" is to communicate our ideas to other developers.”

This gave me another perspective of a programming language

A great book that goes beyond clean code and ventures into teaching you how to write more pythonic code as well.

Finished chapter 1

Getting back into this after Advent of Code reignited a spark in learning these things.

Separation of concerns and acronyms to live by

Design by Contract and Defensive Programming, although I'm not done with the exceptions part of the latter.

Finished off with some more examples of Pythonic code and then a few gotcha anti-patterns to watch out for. My appreciation for the complexity of Python has grown a lot.

Thanks to Trey Hunner's Python Morsels exercises, I was finally in the right head space to understand @property and creating iterators. This isn't to say that Mariano does a bad job here, it's just that having a concrete exercise helps me a lot more with these more Pythonic concepts.

Good information on standard for underscores

Understanding how Python generators work

One of the better written Pakt books I've read. The early part explaining what clean code is was great! Learned about annotations. Can't wait to see how this book continues to bring my code to the next level.

Seems like this is going to be a good compliment to Serious Python that will reinforce a lot of that learning from a slightly different point of view.
