# Good coding habits: the Template Method and Configuration Files **Speaker:** Victoria Vásquez • **Date:** 17-10-2025 ## When / Where Friday 17th, October at 11:30 am • Sala Seminario ## Abstract Have you ever found yourself rewriting the same logic across multiple scripts or struggling to keep track of hardcoded parameters? Good coding habits can save you time and effort by making your code more reusable and adaptable. In this Python Meeting, we’ll explore two essential practices: the Template Method pattern and Configuration Files. The Template Method helps you define a skeleton for your algorithms, allowing you to reuse structure while customizing behavior. Meanwhile, Configuration Files provide a centralized way to manage parameters, keywords, or settings; making your code more flexible and easier to update when requirements change. Join us to explore these simple yet powerful techniques that will help you write cleaner and more efficient code! ## Files - Video: [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh5KI1Vnh38)
