Learning Python, Seventh Edition: Building Robust and Scalable Applications

Synopsis

Building upon the foundation laid in *Learning Python, Sixth Edition: Building Practical Applications*, where you learned to structure and organize complete programs, this Seventh Edition takes your skills further by focusing on making those applications robust, scalable, and ready for real-world demands. Designed for non-technical individuals continuing their journey, this book moves beyond simply creating functional programs to teaching you the essential techniques needed to handle increased complexity, traffic, and data. We will delve into advanced strategies for performance optimization, implementing more sophisticated error handling and logging, writing effective tests to ensure reliability, and exploring methods for preparing your applications for deployment and potential scaling. By reinforcing concepts from previous editions while introducing critical patterns for building resilient and efficient systems, *Learning Python, Seventh Edition* empowers you to confidently develop applications that are not only practical but also durable, maintainable, and capable of growing alongside your ambitions.
