Software Design by Example in Python is now in beta. All the material is free to read and re-use under open licenses, and we would be very grateful for feedback and corrections. If you enjoy these books, you may also enjoy Software Design by Example in JavaScript, Research Software Engineering with Python, JavaScript for Data Science, Teaching Tech Together, and It Will Never Work in Theory. Architects look at thousands of buildings during their training, and study critiques of those buildings written by masters. In contrast, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well—usually programs they wrote themselves—and never study the great programs of history. As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes rather than building on one another's successes. Our goal is to change that. In these two books, the authors of four dozen open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they i
