This is one of my favorite software development books of all time. It's the book that finally offered straight forward guidance and wisdom on how to properly utilize OOP language features.

I'm very happy to see it out for Python!

Sandi's earlier book, POODR, was also great. While it is focused on Ruby, most of the advice applies more broadly.

Reading these two really helped me understand just how impoverished the concept of OOP has become by C++ and Java, from its Smalltalk roots.

Avdi Grimm preaches a similar gospel.
