The Sense of Style: A Talk On Coding Aesthetics
2024-09-27 , 4F Track4

Coding aesthetics, in this context, refers to how code is written. It is essential that programmers also pay attention to the aesthetics and not just the functionality the code aims to achieve. There are several ways to make Python code aesthetically pleasing, such as code refactoring, using static code analysis tools like PyLint to check compliance with PEP8 guidelines, and applying syntactic sugar. The talk mainly covers the importance of style in coding and the available tools and techniques for Python programmers that help maintain coding aesthetics.
