The Python Developer's Toolkit

This is a replacement for the aging course, Python Developers Toolkit, covering only the topics around Pylint and Documentation. These are obviously core skills for any python developer, but for a beginner, they might come too early.

In need of core skills for any level python development? In this course, Python Best Practices for Code Quality, you will learn a number of best practices that will help you improve the quality of your Python code. First, you will discover the guidelines for formatting code called Pep8. Next, you will create beautiful and publishable documentation with Python docstrings and a tool called Sphinx. Finally. you will explore how to improve maintainability and prevent errors by adding type hints to your code. By the end of this course, you will be able to write clearer, more readable and more maintainable code with better documentation.
