Eric Mesa’s Reviews > Clean Code in Python: Refactor your legacy code base > Status Update

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

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.
