    Modules

    In the first chapter you will look at defining functions in more detail and learn
    about default values, type hints and assert statements. Afterwards, you can
    use functions even more effectively as tools for your projects. You will work
    with the concepts of list comprehension and dictionary comprehension to
    efficiently create lists and dictionaries. At the end of the chapter you will learn
    how to adapt your code to the PEP8 industry standard by means of layout and
    structure.
    In the second chapter, you will learn what OOP is, which programming
    principles are based on it, and which conclusions you can draw from it,
    using simple examples. In the main part of the chapter, you will explore how
    classes and attributes are defined and used. You will use examples to examine
    instance methods, how they’re used and defined with method chaining.
    You‘ll learn what the self keyword is, as well as how to distinguish debugging
    from class definitions. Finally, you will test your previous knowledge in an
    interactive interim project and repeat the exercises from the chapter.
    In the third chapter, you will learn what inheritance and composition are and
    how to use these concepts in use cases. In addition to simple inheritance, you
    will also learn more advanced methods such as inheritance hierarchy and
    multiple inheritance. In doing so, you‘ll practice deep inheritance methods
    to make data reusable from parent to child classes, to compensate for data
    loss. Finally, you will learn the most important best practices for unit testing in
    order to detect errors in your code before your users find them.
    In the fourth chapter, you will deal with more advanced concepts of
    object-oriented programming, which you will use in your daily work.
    You will study the difference between programs and modules and
    what role __main__ plays. You will learn what decorators are and how
    to use property decorators optimally. You will look at static and class
    methods and what special methods and class representations you
    can use with __str_() and _repr_(). Based on this, you will learn about
    the possibilities offered by operator overloading as well as other
    important methods from the Python Standard Library and then apply
    what you have learned in a business-relevant interim project.
    In the fifth chapter, you will demonstrate your knowledge in two
    larger projects that represent classic use cases of object-oriented
    programming. In the first project, you‘ll build your own interface for a
    popular data science library that makes it possible to apply machine
    learning or data or text analytics methods. The second project deals
    with programming your own blockchain, where you will learn more
    about the underlying concepts.
