Course Overview
Hi everyone, my name is Reindert-Jan Ekker, and welcome to my course, Python Best Practices for Code Quality. I'm a long-time developer and educator, and in this course, I will teach you about a number of best practices that will help you improve the quality of your Python code. We will discuss the guidelines for formatting your Python code called PEP 8, how to create beautiful and publishable documentation with Python docstrings and a tool called Sphinx, and how to improve maintainability and prevent errors by adding type-ins to your code. None of these subjects are about the correctness of your code. Instead, they help you improve your code quality in a more indirect way. By the end of this course, you'll be able to write clearer, more readable, and more maintainable code with better documentation. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with the basics of Python programming. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn how to improve your Python code with the course, Python Best Practices for Code Quality, at Pluralsight.
