Python Code Structure and Efficiency with Generator Functions

Most of the code I’ve written works. That doesn’t mean it’s good. I won a book at a recent Python x Data Science taster session hosted by SkillStruct University and it’s already shifted how I think. Powerful Python: Patterns and Strategies with Modern Python introduces a different way of approaching code. It’s not about if the code runs, but rather thinking about structure and efficiency. I’ve only just started it, but one concept that stood out is generator functions. At first, I saw it as a useful shortcut to create iterators. But it’s more than that. Instead of building and storing everything upfront, you generate values only when needed. A small shift. But it completely changes how you think about performance. Especially when working with larger datasets. It made me realise how often I focus on getting something to work… rather than thinking about how it should be built. Still early into the book but definitely something I want to explore and apply in my projects. What’s a concept that changed how you approach learning? Thanks to Michael Olatokun for the book. #Python #DataScience #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #LearningInPublic #TechCareers #CodingJourney
