Foundations of Agile Python Development (Paperback)

You’ve long been enamored with the Python language, and have mastered its many nuances. Yet something seems to be missing—a productivity boost that you know is possible but you’re not sure how to go about it. This was the sentiment of so many developers before discovering Agile programming paradigm, which embraces concepts such as automation, effective code management, and test–driven development.

Foundations of Agile Python Development is the first book to apply these sought–after principles to Python developers, introducing both the tools and techniques built and supported by the Python community. Authored by Jeff Younker, a well–known member of Python’s agile community who is perhaps best known for his creation of a popular Python testing framework, this book is sure to be a hit among readers who may have reached their limits of knowledge regarding the Python language, yet are seeking to improve their understanding of how sound processes can boost productivity to unparalleled heights.

What you’ll learn

• Understand why the Agile movement is increasing productivity and decreasing programmer stress the world around.
• Use Eclipse and Subversion to add a whole new level of efficiency to your daily programming activities.
• Change your perspective on testing from a necessary evil to a compelling and crucial part of your development process.
• Automate your build process, eliminating much of the tedium surrounding testing and deployment tasks.

Who is this book for?

Python developers seeking to take advantage of efficient developer tools and techniques to boost productivity

你一直以來都對Python語言情有獨鍾，並且已經掌握了它的許多細微之處。然而，似乎還缺少一些東西-一種你知道可能存在的提升生產力的方法，但你不確定該如何著手。這是許多開發人員在發現敏捷編程範式之前的感受，敏捷編程範式包括自動化、有效的代碼管理和測試驅動開發等概念。

《敏捷Python開發基礎》是第一本將這些備受追捧的原則應用於Python開發人員的書籍，介紹了Python社區建立和支持的工具和技術。作者Jeff Younker是Python敏捷社區中著名的成員，他最著名的成就可能是創建了一個受歡迎的Python測試框架。這本書肯定會受到讀者的喜愛，他們可能已經達到了對Python語言的知識極限，但仍然希望提高對如何通過健全的流程提高生產力的理解。

你將學到什麼:
- 瞭解為什麼敏捷運動在全球範圍內提高生產力並減少程序員的壓力。
- 使用Eclipse和Subversion為您的日常編程活動增加全新的效率水平。
- 從將測試視為必要之惡轉變為開發過程中引人入勝且至關重要的一部分。
- 自動化您的構建過程，消除測試和部署任務周圍的大部分乏味工作。

這本書適合對高效的開發者工具和技術有興趣的Python開發人員。
