Vincent’s Reviews > Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python: Best Practices for Writing Clean Code > Status Update

Well, I knew about inheritance, but though I've seen properties used before I never fully knew what they were about, so I got that out of this last chapter so far. Once I'm done with that, dunder methods are left.

Right, for the final part (the last three chapters) of the book, we're diving into OOP, and it really starts at the basics, in spite of the title of the book. But I suppose for Python, OOP isn't necessarily that basic, even though for me, as someone coming from C++ and Java, it rather is. In any event, perhaps the second and third of these chapters will dive in a bit deeper.

Big O algorithm analysis, cool!

I'm certainly starting to learn new things at this point. (Moreso than before.) The last chapter I read included a lot of terminology that I have often heard but never quite understood, like libraries/SDKs/APIs, hash, and others. Cool!

This book seems to be just what I need! Although the first few chapters, about the command line and code formatting, are a bit less interesting. I can see that they're important, still; I'm just more excited about other, later parts of the book.
