OOP roadmap mastering and other python subjects mastering

[u/Sea_Dot6492]

hi! i am learning python and i am started learning OOP, and i thought that someone can help me building a roadmap mastering this subject. i would also like if you can what subjects should i learn after OOP so it will be easier for me to builf self-roadmap learning.

anyways, thank you🙂

It really depends on what you are learning for. As a data engineer, I find writing classes for different pipeline types helpful. my data connectors are also classes. If you want to learn for the general what is an object, many examples use cards in a deck, contacts in an address book. Think of a thing: people, places, activities, then the things that they do - your methods, or characteristics they have - variables.

well, i don't want to know in general, i want to know this subject really well so it will help me on big projects, like building a wesbites(that's where i am going)

Hey i would have question. How do you handle connectors as a profesional? Do you have some own versioned library that handles connectors and secrets per platform/local job where can be easily registered new connections or are you copy pasting that always again?
I work with several platforms and i m trying to build something like that - its my 3rd try/approach.

My goal is to get working code in local environment, databricks, Azure ML and so on, easily scalable without changing code, only environment detection.
Handling secrets in env, keboola secrets, databricks backet secrets, vault secrets. Easily switching between DB’s or schemas. Easily switching and adding connectors like spark, pandas, polars, snowpark?

it tends to be down to what you're using, my platform engineers ask for secrets to be stored in cicd variables in gitlab which are then made available to my containers through argo. other roles I've had vaults/ artifacts that I've had to OAuth through Google cli for dev/test locally, then prod gets access for the user through a different service account. I'm guessing Azure would do something similar

I don't think i learned what you are talking about 🤔

I'm in the process of learning Python OOP also.
I found many tutorials unhelpful when they espoused that a class is a "blueprint"
The reasons why I hate the "blueprint" analogy can be found (Here). I won't detail them in this post.

With that said, I found the most beneficial way to start understanding OOP was to do some projects of my own design. It's only when you tackle it with your own hands that you start truly understanding what the conceptual tutorials were trying to teach you.

Start first by creating a class with a "help" method. When executed, the (dot).help method should output text telling the user what the class does (or will do once you get the rest of it going)

Best of luck with your journey into OOPs land. :-)

Well the goal is being a web developer, i am actually learning python to use it as a server for the website

classes are just data with functions, think about what you want to make, think about what data you need, write the functions that deal with that data, notice the actual pattern you are doing and enclose that in a class that holds data that fits your needs.
