Object Introspection in Python and PowerShell

In modern software development and system administration, writing code that can examine itself at runtime is a powerful capability. This course introduces you to object introspection, the process of dynamically analyzing object properties, methods, and metadata in Python and PowerShell. Through clear explanations and practical code examples, you will learn how to write highly adaptable scripts and debug complex systems with ease. Starting with foundational concepts, you will explore how objects are represented in memory and how to query their structures programmatically. You will learn how to: * Define classes and instantiate objects in both Python and PowerShell * Inspect object types, attributes, and methods dynamically at runtime * Implement type hinting and modern metadata inspection techniques in Python * Query properties and pipeline structures in PowerShell using built-in utilities * Apply dynamic code evaluation techniques securely and avoid common pitfalls * Use introspection to write robust, self-documenting, and adaptable automation scripts This course begins with core definitions and basic object-oriented concepts before moving into advanced inspection techniques. It is designed for beginners who are already familiar with basic programming or scripting concepts and want to elevate their automation skills. No prior experience with introspection is required.
