Expand upon your fundamental Python programming skills to build reliable and stable applications. In this training course, you learn to implement Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns in order to solve commonly recurring, real-world software design programs, thereby avoiding pitfalls and greatly improving the effectiveness of your programming efforts.

You Will Learn How To

  • Employ design patterns and best practices in Python applications
  • Unit test, debug, and instal Python programs and modules
  • Profile program execution and improve performance
  • Apply advanced Python programming features for efficient, reliable, maintainable programs

Important Course Information

Requirements:

  • Working knowledge of Python programming to the level of:
    • Course 1905, Python Programming Introduction, or at least three to six months of Python programming experience
