Free Book: Clean Architectures in Python
On Christmas 2018 I published on Leanpub a free book, "Clean Architectures in Python". It's a humble attempt to organise and expand some posts I published on my blog in the last years.
You can find it here: https://leanpub.com/clean-architectures-in-python
It has already been downloaded by 7,300 people and some of them were kind enough to support me with money. It already went through 7 minor revisions thanks to the help of some readers who spotted typos and errors (revision 8 is in the works). I want to say thanks to everyone who downloaded and read it. It's really good to know that some people find it helpful for their career.
The book is divided in two parts, this is a brief overview of the table of contents
* Part 1 - Tools
- Chapter 1: Introduction to TDD
- Chapter 2: On unit testing
- Chapter 3: Mocks
* Part 2 - The clean architecture
- Chapter 1: Components of a clean architecture
- Chapter 2: A basic example
- Chapter 3: Error management
- Chapter 4: Database repositories
Some highlights:
- The book is written with beginners in mind
- It contains 3 full projects, two small ones to introduce TDD and mocks, a bigger one to describe the clean architecture approach
- Each project is explained step-by-step, and each step is linked to a tag in a companion repository on GitHub
The book is free, but if you want to contribute with money I will definitely appreciate the help. My target however is to encourage the discussion about software architectures, both in the Python community and outside it.
I hope you will enjoy the book! Please spread the news on your favourite social network and thanks for downloading it.
