The eight core principles in this book are designed to show how to write clear, maintainable code without compromising functionality. Christian Mayer's guiding principle is simplicity: reduce and simplify, then reinvest energy in the important parts to save hours and ease the often onerous task of code maintenance. This Python-based book is suitable for programmers at any level, with ideas presented in a language-agnostic manner.
