Anti-Patterns: How not to do things in Python
Gajendra Deshpande
Design patterns offer general solutions to common problems and it is standard practice to include them in software development. On the other hand, Anti-Pattern is a complement to Design patterns. While design patterns focus on how to do things by following best practices, Anti-patterns focus on how not to do things. In this talk, I will speak about anti-patterns in Python and their worst practices. The talks follow the problem-solution approach. In this talk, I will explain anti-patterns related to Correctness, maintainability, Readability, security, and performance and possible solution to avoid them in the code.
