21 Techniques to Write Better Code
I have pulled together these techniques from 35 years of programming in multiple languages on multiple projects. There is before and after Python code examples that apply each technique. I also show how to personalize Pycharm for these techniques for your projects.
What is Photonai?
Photonai incorporates Scikit-Learn and other machine learning (ML) or deep learning (DL) frameworks with one unifying paradigm. Photonai adopts Scikit-Learn’s Estimator, and Transformer class method architecture.
Photonai adds code that reduces manual coding and error by transforming pre- and post-learner algorithms into elements with their argument signature. Examples of elements are several choices of data cleaners, scalers, imputers, class balancers, cross-validators, hyper-parameter tuners, and ensembles.
By applying these twenty-one techniques, we start the adding of clustering to the Photonai package. I give a before and after Python code example to show the transformation of Photonai using the technique.
Create New Version and Document Major Changes
Technique #1:
- Create a new version a+1.0.0, if there is a major amount of architecture change, a major amount of code changed and, a major amount of new…
