Summary
Fundamentals of object oriented programming, with a strong focus on the Python programming language. This course emphasizes the theoretical fundamentals of object oriented programming with hands-on training for rapidly prototyping applications. The practicals will illustrate : ● the benefits of object oriented programming, ● the ability of Python to quickly translate ideas into code, ● the process of developing and scaling a proof-of-concept, and preparing for production. Some of the frameworks and tools we will utilize are : ● pyTest, cProfile, pycallgraph, Pylint, Travis, asyncio, zeroMQ, Docker, Flask.
Educational goals
After successfully taking this course, a student should: ● understand the notions of class and object, ● understand the concepts of encapsulation and inheritance, ● understand the most common design patterns used in object oriented programming, ● understand the principle of inversion-of-control through dependency injection, ● lay the groundwork for testing, analyzing and profiling software, ● learn to leverage continuous integration in the development process, ● learn to package and prepare an application for production, ● learn to scale applications through asynchronous parallelization, ● learn to quickly prototype applications with simple web frontends.
