Python for the Modern Developer: The Practical Guide to Modern Coding, Data, and AI Workflows

By Felix Serrano

Have you ever stopped to wonder why Python continues to dominate development, data science, and AI engineering-even as new languages emerge every year? Or maybe you've tried learning Python, but still can't connect the dots between theory and building real applications, automating workflows, or deploying intelligent systems that actually work.

That's exactly where Python for the Modern Developer: The Practical Guide to Modern Coding, Data, and AI Workflows by Felix Serrano comes in.

This isn't a shallow tutorial that leaves you repeating beginner projects. It's a hands-on, modern engineering manual built for developers who want to write clean, scalable, and production-ready Python. From workflow automation and backend APIs to machine learning pipelines and deployment strategies, this book shows how professionals actually use Python in real environments.

Tired of outdated, scattered resources? This book gives you clarity, structure, and a practical roadmap for mastering Python in today's engineering context. It bridges the gap between syntax and strategy-teaching not just how to code, but how to design systems that scale, automate, and evolve.

You'll constantly find yourself asking the right questions:
How do I design Python code that scales beyond testing?
How do experts handle virtual environments, dependencies, and version control safely?
Which built-in Python tools can replace third-party packages and save development time?
What separates code that runs from code that's production-grade?

Each topic is illustrated through practical examples, modern best practices, and actionable workflows. You'll learn how to build REST APIs, automate reports, construct data pipelines, and integrate AI-driven models-all using real engineering principles.

This book challenges you to think differently:
Do you want to just "know" Python syntax-or think like a professional developer?
Are you still repeating manual work that could be automated?
Do you understand how to transition from writing small scripts to maintaining scalable systems?

Through its chapters, you'll learn to:

Streamline your environment setup using Poetry, pipx, and virtualenv.Architect modular and testable codebases using proven design principles.Build and deploy APIs confidently with FastAPI.Implement end-to-end AI workflows-from preprocessing to inference.Create CLI tools and microservices that align with industry standards.Apply observability, security, and performance tuning techniques that make systems reliable.

Every concept invites reflection: Is this code maintainable? Can it be automated? How do I measure its reliability? Felix Serrano guides you to think beyond syntax-to build systems that others can trust, extend, and deploy confidently.

By the end, you'll understand not only how Python powers modern software-but how to use it effectively for scalable, automated, and intelligent solutions. This isn't just about coding; it's about adopting the mindset of today's professional engineer-adaptive, data-aware, and efficiency-driven.

If you've ever said, "I know Python, but I don't know what to build next," this book gives you the answer-and the roadmap to execute it.

So, what kind of developer do you want to be? One who just writes scripts-or one who builds systems that matter?

Start your transformation today. Get your copy of Python for the Modern Developer and unlock the practical skills, workflows, and engineering mindset that turn code into professional impact.
